Grief touches every life, and no one should have to carry it alone. In the Fall of 2026, the Adult Education hopes to offer a Grief Support Discussion Group three to four times per year (each session 4–6 weeks). These groups will provide a gentle, welcoming place for church members to share, listen, and support one another through seasons of loss.
We are seeking 3–4 volunteer facilitators who would be willing to help lead a session once or twice a year (often in pairs). If you have experience as a Stephen Minister—or have served in another caring or listening ministry—you may be especially well suited for this. That said, you do not need to be a counselor to help lead. What matters most is a compassionate presence and willingness to guide a simple format. We will provide training, a clear session outline, and ongoing leader support.

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.

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. The hot meals are distributed that evening to numerous homeless camps in the metro area. We only need a few volunteers once a month to make this happen. Click above to visit our latest sign-up genius where we are actively looking for generous helpers like yourself. If you wish to be notified via email when the sign-up is available, please contact our church office to be added to our mailing list. To learn more about the organization, visit http://www.uplift.org/.

Each month GCPC helps serve a meal at the Wilhelmina Gill Service Center in KCK. We look for volunteers to help with kitchen duties (both line servers and dish washers). We also need a volunteers to make cookies that our volunteers bring to serve as well. Please note a new rule: Children must be at least twelve years old to volunteer in the kitchen but I am sure they make great helpers in your own kitchen. • Check back here soon for our sign-up link when it becomes available.

Food donations for Catholic Charities continue all throughout the year. Please drop off your donations weekdays between 8:30am and 4pm. You can use either the barrel in front of the wooden doors in the main entrance, or the bin inside the Weekday Entrance.
If you have questions about any of these opportunities, please contact our church office and we'll help find the answers. Thank you for your interest and involvement with our the mission work of GCPC.
