Our SMASH group meets the third Sunday of the month (ordinarily and a few exceptions) with K-5th grade students to enjoy learning about different topics through service, music, art, sports and hanging out with friends. Our group has grown and we are in need of some additional helpers. Here’s what a helper will do: help the children with crafts and activities, especially our youngest; assist with keeping children on task, reading, creating, snack distribution and clean up, and restroom trips; participate in the games. Thank you for considering to volunteer with us. We'll have laugh, have fun and enjoy a little chaos together!

We host a little food pantry on the northwest corner of our church property. Our pantry was built as part of Jenna's (one of our church members) Girl Scout Gold Award project. Our sign reads "Take what you need, share what you can". We hope anyone in need will visit our pantry and take items they need. We welcome all donations. You can drop your donations off within the pantry itself or if you have a large supply of items, please leave them in our weekday entrance with a notation that they are for the Little Food Pantry. Our most needed items are individual drinks, individual snacks and canned goods of any kind. Additional suggestions can be found in our February 2022 GCPC newsletter. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us at gcpc_littlefoodpantry@yahoo.com

We can put your gently used shoes to use! Please rubber band each pair of shoes together and place them in bins located within the church's weekday entrance. S4S turns unwanted shoes into opportunity, by keeping them from going to waste and putting them to good use. They provide relief, create jobs and empower people to break the cycle of poverty.

GCPC members feed the homeless every fourth Saturday of the month by preparing a meal for 60-70 people in our church kitchen and then delivering it to the Uplift organization in downtown Kansas City.
