Our Ministries
United in Grace ministries reach out in practical ways to feed and to clothe those in need of food and clothing. As an ELCA Reconciling in Christ congregation, United in Grace invites and welcomes the full participation of LGBTQ+ persons in our worship life and ministries.
Brown Bag Meal Ministry
We are continuing to place our Brown Bags into the hands of hungry folks we encounter on street corners and parking lots.
We encourage those of you who are reluctant to hand them out, to try it. I think you will find it rewarding. Just roll down your window and hold up a bag. Ask if they would like a lunch. Very seldom will someone decline.
We can’t pick up Brown Bags at church during our renovation but call or email me and I will gladly bring some to your house. It’s a small thing we do, but much appreciated.
Each Brown Bag costs about $5.00 to fill. Please consider making a donation. In the memo line of your check, put “Brown Bag Ministry”.
Thank you for your generosity, and may God bless our efforts.

Food Bank Ministry
The United in Grace Food Bank Team takes to the field every second Wednesday of the month from 1 - 3pm at the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano warehouse in Fairfield.
At the warehouse, the team sorts and bags produce for distribution to our hungry neighbors in Solano County.
Please join us.
Outreach Ministry
We make quilts that are 60 x 80 and collect items for personal care kits and school kits for Lutheran World Relief (LWR).
We make hats and scarfs for Vallejo's unsheltered and for the San Francisco Night Ministry.
At Christmas time we provide lap quilts and collect items for the Seniors love Santa program and also collect small cosmetics for distribution to the unsheltered.
You are invited to join this ministry. Regardless of your skill level, there is rewarding work for you to do.
