Some Ways to Reach Out During the Holidays : Christmas Eve at Grac e:
Isaiah’s Inn Christmas Dinner – Dec. 5th:
Isaiah’s Inn is a local ministry to displaced families that we support on a
monthly basis. They thoroughly screen clients to provide financial
counseling and funds to families who are working but have been in financial
crisis. The families must show motivation to be independent and be willing
to work towards that goal. This Christmas dinner (at the Highland Complex
at 5pm) is a celebration of past and present families who have been blessed
by the services of Isaiah’s Inn throughout the year. You will be blessed to
celebrate with them and be “Jesus with skin on” for them to see. Please see
Becky Evans (Becky@gracechristian.com) for more details.
