Samaritan Center Meals
Twice per year members of Grace Church serve lunch at Samaritan Center. Participants shop, prepare and serve a meal to approximately 350 guests, and clean up afterward. Additional volunteers are always needed, as are monetary contributions to buy food. Contact the church office to sign up or contribute.
Worship at Syracuse Home at McHarrie Place
Grace Church leads worship on Sunday afternoon at 3:00 PM several times per year. Musicians, lectors and singers lend their skills to provide a worship service for residents, staff and guests..
Garden of Grace
In the spring and summer, Grace and Head Start cooperate to grow vegetables, baby pumpkins, flowers and herbs. Children help plant, and tend and eat their very own veggies!
Touched by Grace
A part of the national Threads of Love organization, this group meets September through June to sew fleece gowns for premature or sick babies. All levels of skill are welcome. Contact the parish office for more information.
Peanut Butter Sunday Sundae
The annual kickoff to Grace’s Outreach effort is a special coffee hour featuring peanut butter sundaes. During one month, large jars of peanut butter are collected for schoolchildren who are on subsidized lunch program. Feeding the kids, especially during school breaks and the summer months, when there is no school breakfast or lunch can be difficult for food-insecure families. Grace partners with a local school to provide peanut butter to help nourish hungry kids. Contact Office@GraceEpiscopalBaldwinsville.org.
Pet Project is our September outreach project, collecting food, bedding and other items for HumaneCNY. The project concludes with the annual Blessing of Animals service followed by treats for two- and four-legged guests.
In November we work with our Community Partner P.E.A.C.E. to provide Thanksgiving Meal Baskets to those who can’t afford them.
The Baldwinsville Volunteer Center’s Christmas Bureau is a usual December project at Grace. Gifts for children in a designated age-group are collected for distribution to families who would be otherwise unable to provide presents.
