Help Needed to Organize Our "God's Work Our Hands" Day of Service

We are starting to prepare for September 11th when we go out, along with tens of thousands of ELCA members all around the country, to serve our communities on "God's Work Our Hands" Sunday.

We had over 120 Grace members give their afternoon last year and want to increase that number this year.
 
The planning team has started its work, but there are a lot of needs and duties we have to fill.  Here is a list of some of the things we are working on now.  If you want to get involved or can help us out please call the church office (377-4770) and let us know.
 
We need: 

• People to serve on the planning team
• Members who have elderly or disabled neighbors who may have some yard work or small outside home repair jobs that our volunteers could do in an afternoon.  If you know someone please let us know
• Someone to head up the Packers' Party at the Grafton Senior Center.  We did this last year and it was a big success
• Someone to work with All Peoples to plan a project or two that our volunteers could do along with members of All Peoples
• Volunteers to help organize and serve the meal for our volunteers on September 11th
• Ideas for other projects and activities that our volunteers can do.  We'd like to expand the number of opportunities to serve

 
Please see where you can help.  We especially are looking for local residents who could benefit from yard work or small repair projects.  These fit perfectly at the heart of "God's Work Our Hands".
 
Sign-up sheets for our projects will be out starting on Sunday, July 24. 
 
Make sure you get involved and help out.  It's a lot of fun and a great way to serve others!
