Chronic Pain

3rd Tuesday 7 PM
ONLINE ONLY

The purpose of the Chronic Pain Support Network is to connect and support people with chronic pain and those who love them. The CPSN runs on two tracks: one is where people interact with one another on a private Facebook page and the other is where people meet face-to-face. Either way, people meet and connect with others for encouragement, prayer and sharing practical helps. Anyone associated with Grace Church is welcome to join regardless of their pain experience.

Embrace Grace

Middleburg Heights Campus

Embrace Grace strives to give every single young woman with an unplanned pregnancy in our community a church home where she can find spiritual, emotional, and physical support. The primary goal of Embrace Grace is to empower the church to be a safe and nonjudgmental place for these young women to run to when they find out they are pregnant, instead of the last place they are welcomed because of shame and guilt.

It is a 12-week study teaches them about God’s never-ending love and grace, no matter what our past is and what we’re going through. At the end we will give them a baby shower to honor them for choosing life and to help provide for their baby’s needs.
