Care Groups

Graymere church of Christ Care Groups exist to ensure that all members and others are provided with support in times of need. Care Groups are small communities of members who live in close proximity to each other. Care Groups provide a unique means of communication to be sure the needs of all members are met. The birth of a child, newcomers to the community or other such celebrations allow members to rejoice with each other. Illness, disability, or death presents unique opportunities to share in one another’s burdens. Whether by delivering a Bible to new parents, delivering a welcome present to new neighbors, providing a meal to share at the conclusion of a funeral, or delivering meals once and even for a prolonged period of time based on an extended illness, Graymere members are busy serving their church and community. Care Groups are just another way that members of the Graymere church of Christ strive to be Christ-like and truly make a difference!

Senior Group

Graymere church of Christ has an active Senior Group who shares in numerous opportunities for worship, service, fun, and fellowship! Though open to all, the Senior Group usually finds those people over sixty who share common interests working and playing together as Christians. Visit the Outreach Center adjacent to the building on Tuesday and Thursday of most weeks and you will find many seniors devoting their time to preparing and finding clothes to meet the needs of many in our community. The Graymere Give-Away Day held in the fall of each year is made possible due to the work of many in the Senior Group in the collecting, sorting, and preparing items to given away. Other service opportunities arise from time to time such as working with the Church of Christ Disaster Relief in the recent hurricanes so destructive to the Southern coast. A full-time minister works with and serves the Graymere Seniors to plan and meet needs that arise. Whether through taking a trip to a mystery destination, visiting the mountains to observe God’s beauty, or a simple meal shared together, the Graymere Senior Group provides a network of support to those who are fortunate to have reached that stage in life. The Graymere church of Christ Senior Group truly is committed to making a difference in themselves, their church, and their community!
