Grace, Raleigh sent 40 folks and 160 bags of groceries over to North Raleigh Ministries’ (NRM) new Crisis Management Center for God’s Work. Our Hands. Sunday! We sorted the food and got a tour of this great new facility that allows NRM to go well beyond the food pantry to life coaching, pastoral care, cooking classes, and more. Grace has an awesome history with NRM as one of the founding churches—20 years ago!
