Bible Study

I enjoy volunteering at GRACE because I enjoy talking to the participants and listening to what they get out of the Bible lessons.

The time I spend with the participants at GRACE is the best hour of my week. It is a joy to get to know these individuals and work with them. Honestly, I think I get more out of it than they do.

Pat Swenson

One of my favorite times of the week is when I volunteer at GRACE. I have made many new friends; staff, co-volunteers, participants and especially my dance partner, Arai. The love that is shown at GRACE is truly amazing; I am honored to be able to spend time with this great organization.

Bob Lerude

I have the most fun every week dancing with the folks at GRACE. We're all laughing, playing jokes on each other once in while and just having a great time!
