Thursday, February 20 – Saturday, February 22
(5 sessions, choose the session that works best for you!)
Faith West Gymnasium, 2225 Porter Road, Katy TX 77493
“Hunger has no ears,” so people have a difficult time hearing the Gospel when they are hungry.
A packathon is a two-hour, hands-on service opportunity for all ages. Your work will go toward providing Feed the Hunger meals for the local community, as well as at-risk children nationally and internationally. Local ministries that have and will continue to benefit from the meals packed include Katy Christian Ministries, Attack Poverty, Eyes on Me Ministry, Children Like Loni, Texas Relief Warriors, Hope Impacts, Katy Responds, and many more.
Each participant serving two hours and packaging around 200 meals, is enough food to feed one child lunch for up to an entire school year! Each meal costs only $0.36, so your $68 contribution will help sponsor the meals you pack and ensure they get on the plates of those who need it most.
Grace Fellowship is praying for 150 volunteers! Put on your hairnet and support feed the hunger both spiritually and physically. Space is limited, it’s first come, first serve, so sign up today!
Scholarship Program – Grace Fellowship families can apply for scholarships to serve for free. Please note that scholarships are limited and are available on a first come, first serve basis. Use promo code: GRACEPACK

Serving our Community’s Veteran Families

Katy, Texas
Come join us as we serve with our friends at Fort Bend Ramps building an access ramp for an elderly widow in Katy, TX. Ms. Ernestes recently experienced a stroke and is a referral from Adult Protective Services.
This is a perfect serving opportunity for Father-Son, Father-Daughter, Mother-Son or Mother-Daughter teams to work together in our community to bless a family in need. These ramps provide a profound, life-changing impact to a special needs family!
Please pray over this serving opportunity and register to be a part of our team today!
No tools or special skills are needed.

Fort Bend Ramps serves special needs families throughout our area and provides access ramps for families that otherwise could not afford them. This precious gift is life changing for these families and gives enhanced mobility in their daily lives!

Welcome to The Garden of Grace!
Share the blessings of Grace Fellowship as we cultivate our garden to provide fresh produce to the under-resourced in our community.
We annually deliver more than 15,000 pounds of fresh produce to Katy Christian Ministry’s food pantry, Houston Welcomes Refugees, refugee families at Prestige Learning Institute, and YMCA International. We are blessed to be a blessing!
Volunteers are needed for general harvesting, weeding, mulching, and planting! Please pray over volunteering just once per month, your contribution will make a huge difference to the Garden of Grace. Garden crew workdays are every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 7:30-10:30AM. Come and go, as you are able. *High school age or older, please.
Our garden is located on our main campus at 2655 S. Mason Road, Katy, TX 77450. Follow the signs!

Missions Equipment
We are blessed to be able to offer our Grace Fellowship members or regular attenders access to missions equipment for mission trips, to love on our neighbors, create or promote local evangelism opportunities, support community events or local ministry partner organizations, and/or facilitate small group community service projects. Equipment must be reserved and can only be used for ministry outreach purposes.
Missions’ equipment includes a mission’s truck equipped with a hauling package, open bed and enclosed cargo trailers, tool trailer (supports construction-based event) and a Block Party Trailer. The Block Party Trailer easily supports an event for 50+ people with picnic tables, serving tables, shade umbrellas, coolers, grill, griddle and shade canopies. We also have a prayer station, portable sound system, toddler bounce house, signage and many other items to make an outreach successful.
