A big THANK YOU!!
--to everybody for doing their part to make this year's Harvest Festival a success.
We appreciate you volunteers for your contributions to food service, security, to run the games inside, to take pictures, greet at the door, and to do our music.

Without you guys, none of this would have been possible.
With your help, we were able to provide a fun filled, safe night of games, crafts, candy, and food for the kids of the neighborhood and the congregation.

We will be posting some pictures and an event recap soon, so check back!
Thank you!!

[If anybody has any comments or suggestions on how things went this year or things they would like to see done differently next year, please inbox either Kinesha Clemmons or myself, Amy Grein, here on FB.]

Welcome to the Grace Community Center, or Grace Center, page!!!!
We are the nonprofit arm of the Grace Cathedral Community Church,
located at 1709 Nebraska, Flint, MI 48506.

We are a newly active group on Facebook and are getting started with our mission in the community, to provide services for Flint and Genesee County's low to medium income and at-risk residents, meant to promote and enhance their quality of life. We will be developing and providing a variety of supportive resources in the future, from housing and feeding programs, to children & youth services, elderly & disabled services, and educational development & job training. Any questions as to what we can help with, just ask. Our motto is "Grace Covers It!".

Our page and web presence are under construction, much like our organization is at this time. Please be patient with us, as we rely solely on volunteers at this time. If you have the time or a particular talent that could benefit the community, we would love to hear from you!!

Please contact our Director, Amy Grein, either here on Facebook or by email at [email protected] . And don't forget to check back frequently for upcoming events and announcements.
