We love our community!
Through our Outreach Program at Grace Episcopal Church, we support many local organizations. Earlier this month, we heard from leaders and spokespeople from some of the groups we love to support.

Jessica Billiter spoke to us about the Phyllis Zumkehr County Clothing Center, which provides free, gently used clothing to local families and individuals in need.
The United Way was represented by Bill Childers who told us about some of their goals and programs, and described the wide variety of ways people are being served.
Carol Marotta shared information about Coleman Services and the people they serve in the Ravenna area.

Our Outreach Program helps meet the needs of the Ravenna community through a wide variety of programs, and the generous people of Grace Church make it possible!

Grace Episcopal Church joined the city of Ravenna for an epic celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary! The weather was perfect and the community was out in full force. We loved spending time with old and new friends of Ravenna as we played games and gave away lots of fun prizes and gifts.
Several dogs received a Blessing of the Animals, including Sky, Penny, and a freshly groomed poodle named Bear.
We would love to see our new friends join us at church anytime! Blessings to All from Grace Episcopal Church.
