For the past few years, our students have traveled to Park Heights in Baltimore to serve them.

During the week, Grace Students will lead a VBS for all the students, serve our community through various service projects, and go on a local field trip to First Fruits. To help them begin embracing the nature of a missions trip, students will stay overnight in the Warehouse under adult supervision and will eat all their meals in the Warehouse.

Book Suggestions
A Little Pot of Oil
by Jill Briscoe
A time comes when we just don’t have anything left over to give. We run out of faith, energy, strength, patience, options, peace, joy, ideas, and even love. So when God’s call comes knocking and our resources seem thin, we tend to hole up and hide from the needs of others. But that’s exactly when God’s greatest blessing is within a single step, according to Jill Briscoe. He’s asking us to obey, senseless as it may seem.
Crazy Love
by Francis Chan
Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do’s and don’ts—it’s falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you’re wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.
Don't Waste Your Life
by John Piper
The American Dream beckons people to spend their lives on trivial diversions, slipping through life caught up with seeking success, comfort, and pleasure above all else. But God designed people for far more than this.
What's So Amazing About Grace?
by Philip Yancey
In What’s So Amazing About Grace? award-winning author Philip Yancey explores grace at street level. If grace is God’s love for the undeserving, he asks, then what does it look like in action? And if Christians are its sole dispensers, then how are we doing at lavishing grace on a world that knows far more of cruelty and unforgiveness than it does of mercy?
Radiant
by Priscilla Shirer
The culture will try to define you, but this world is starving for something different that comes only from the creative genius of your God. You were created to reflect His light. . . . You were created to be radiant.
Virtual Prayer Box
A Senior
The class of 2020 is losing so many memories they’ve been looking up to and working towards since they were kids. Please pray that God will provide them with everything they’re missing out on, and also that the students are reminded that the plan God has for them is way bigger than the plan they have for themselves.
