Winter Mission Support Opportunity-Grace and Peace Winter Shelter
We have an opportunity this year to serve the women of Grace and Peace Winter Shelter. Isaiah 58:7...Share your food with the hungry and provide the poor wanderer with shelter, then your light will break forth like the dawn.
This shelter, which is a Mercy Ministry of Grace and Peace Fellowship Church has been offering temporary overnight shelter to homeless women of St. Louis since 1986. This is offered during the coldest months of the year from mid November - mid March. Chesterfield Presbyterian Church has elected to provide meals on select Saturday nights or Sunday mornings. This volunteer effort has brought many blessings to the guest in the shelter as well as those who say yes to the opportunity to serve. We have the opportunity to be the hands of Christ as we serve, the ears of Christ as we listen, and the heart of Christ as we pray with the ladies.
If you are interested in volunteering for this opportunity, please contact the church office for more details and dates.
