Places To Serve
We believe we are saved to serve. We believe that God gives everyone abilities, experiences and gifts that can be used to help others. We hope you can get plugged in somewhere in the church or ourside where you can serve with joy.

Curt's Kitchen
Volunteers prepare a hot meal for 250 people every Wednesday. Of the 250 about 105 are homebound and 100 to 145 are served at the old Grace Methodist Church on Pruitt Street. A full holiday meal is served at Thanksgiving and Christmas. We also have Santa Claus at Christmas with gifts for the children. The gifts for the children come from an Angel Tree at CBG.
You can volunteer by working in the kitchen, delivering to the homebound, donating desserts, bringing homemade desserts, and/or donating financially.
Days and Times
- Wednesdays 4:30pm
My Body and Soul
My Body and Soul helps hundreds of struggling families with free basic care and baby care items essential to everyday living but not covered by food stamps, such as diapers, toilet paper, soap, etc. We are so much more than a free goods outlet. We pray with each client who visits. Our goal is to be their answered prayer, and to provide them with dignity and hope for the future.
Volunteers sign up for a two-hour shift, as often or seldom as they want to work. Some volunteers work directly with clients, while others work “behind the scenes,” filling orders and stocking pantry shelves.
Days and Times
- Tuesday 10am-noon
Relay for Life
Relay For Life is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society that is held yearly all around the world. This one night event takes all year to plan and organize. RFL is a celebration of the Survivors, the Fighters and those we have lost. It takes many volunteers and lots of dedication to keep surpassing our goals in an effort to end Cancer.
There are so many opportunities to be involved. You can be a part of the camp team at the event, raise donation dollars, sell t-shirts for supporters and sell luminaries. We encourage our survivors to sign up and participate in the Survivor lap.

Nativity Figurine Ministry
What church at Christmas time gives each child a beautiful nativity figurine to have forever? Cedar Bayou Grace! United Methodist Women of this church started this program in the late 1950’s or early 1960’s.
Creating the figurines is a multi-step process: pouring the liquid clay into the mold, firing, painting the figurine, and then varnishing. It takes time and volunteers! The Committee meets in the kitchen of the old parsonage for cleaning and painting. Pouring is done during the day.
Days and Times
- Wednesdays 6:30-8pm
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Prayer Shawls are given to members of our church family going through a crisis (health, grief, etc.) in their life. Started in 2009 by Jan Martin buying the yarn, members today just bring their knitting needles or crochet hooks (size J or larger). Anyone is welcome, and the group is eager to teach crocheting or knitting to anyone interested. As shawls are being made, prayers are said for the one who receives the shawl or lap blanket. May it fill them with the love of God and give them hope for better days!
Days and Times
- Wednesdays 9-11:30am
Prayer Ministry
This ministry began in 1997, with Rev. Dan Miller, Virginia Miller, Gayle Standard, and Debbie Trant. The purpose is to contact members or anyone that needs prayer and let them know our group and church are praying for them every day.
We write personal notes or Bible scriptures to God in the name of Jesus Christ. This ministry has grown to 33 Prayer Warriors writing cards every month. Those of us who can, meet in the chapel for prayer and add any new names given to us. We invite anyone who has an interest to join our group or use the list to pray at home.
Days and Times
- Tuesdays 8:30am
Office Angels
The group Office Angels is being formed in the church office to assist the different ministry areas of the church. Typical duties would include folding and stuffing the weekly bulletins, preparing the monthly newsletter and other church wide mail-outs, and answering phones. We will also be helping the pastors and ministry leaders with various projects and anticipate that additional opportunities will arise with the move to the new building.
