The Social Ministry Committee succeeds because of many volunteers from the congregation. The following are some of our many projects we do on an annual basis:

• Project Outreach - We staff this community food pantry approximately 8 times a year. With "Souper Bowl" Sunday, and food and monetary donations from our congregation, we are able to see that the less fortunate have food on their tables.

• Tape Ministry - Our Sunday services are audio taped (soon to be video taped) so that people who cannot attend worship can hear the services at home.

• Crop Walk - This project occurs annually to defeat world hunger.

• Montgomery County Geriatric Center Services - Services are led twice a year by Pastor Neff and Pastor Krais. Members of our congregation volunteer their time to assist the patients with these services.

• Advent Project - The Warm Wooly Tree brings hats, mittens, scarves, and blankets to the Lutheran and Children Family Services.

• St. Mary's Franciscan Shelter - This shelter relies on community support for meals to abused women and their children. Our church usually provides meals two to three weeks per year.

• Grace Line - This is a family help network to provide short term assistance to families in time of need.

• Lenten Project - Donations from this project go to help young members of Grace as well as various relief efforts around the country.
