Aging in Grace

 

Aging in Grace's goal is to help senior adults living alone to remain in their homes as long as possible while feeling safe, secure, and comfortable. We work with each person to assess individual needs and develop a plan to address critical projects in their home. 

Projects can include but are not limited to updating computers, installing doorbell cameras, upgrading exterior lighting, adding handrails or grab bars, and many more. Projects are funded by the Aging in Grace team. We do not want a lack of funds to keep the people we serve from feeling safe and secure in their homes.

 

As we move forward with this program, we hope to grow a team that can assist in evaluating homes with us and in specific areas, such as:

  1. Information Technology (IT) - computers and other technology assistance such as online banking, bill-paying, using websites, getting internet access, etc.
  2. Home Care - home maintenance and design recommendations.
  3. Exterior Home Care - reducing need for yard maintenance, fixing stairs and handrails, removing trip hazards, etc.
  4.

Mexico Mission Trip


NRUMC has been in mission in Mexico since 2003. The connection is with Faith Ministry in McAllen, Texas. The ministry was started by a Mexican American business man with retail stores in Texas. He recognized a need for affordable housing and medical care needs for people migrating to the border. He sold his business interests and founded Faith Ministry. The ministry is faith-based and centers in churches and first-line medical clinics along the border. The barrios (colonias in local language) are where people leaving bad living conditions in other areas of Mexico migrate hoping for a better life for their families. The ministry builds 12′ x 24′ concrete houses for families who contribute 8 months of labor for others who have been approved for houses. They also provide first-line medical care in the communities they serve and feeding programs for the children. To date we have financed and built 25 houses for people in need and provided labor for another 15 houses. In addition, we have sent a medical team to help in the clinic, helped support vocational programs, supported children with scholarships for school and provided funds for Christmas season programs that provide gifts for children and funding for food during the holidays. If you are interested in more information, please email Jay Mackie or Julie Bass. For more information about Faith Ministry go to faithministry.org.
