MISSION:
Here is a list of missions and projects directly supported by Grace UCC.
- Flemington Food Pantry: each month a list is sent out to all members and friends requesting certain items for the pantry. They are brought to the church on the last Sunday (unless otherwise planned) of every month.
- "Pennies and Nickels." We ask members and friends to save their pennies and nickels and bring them to church, placing them in the silver "Change Bowl." With these pennies and nickels we have, through Church World Service (CWS) and other agencies, been able to buy water containers, tents, and other items for those struggling with poverty.
- Distribution Center for winter
- HydrAid™ BioSand water filters.
Here is a list of support by Grace via the UCC (United Church of Christ):
