Rag Dolls 2 Love
Through Rag Dolls 2 Love Grace Church members seek to put a soft cloth doll in the hands of children in any kind of need of trouble: children who live in countries ravaged by war, hospitalized children, children infected with HIV/AIDS, children affected by hurricanes and tornadoes, homeless children, hungry children, abused and abandoned children.
Stitched With Love and Prayer
Grace members knit beautiful prayer shawls that are given to people in any kind of need or trouble as a reminder that they are held in our prayers.
