Membership

Fairview Grace is a friendly, open congregation of the United Methodist Church.  We welcome all people regardless of prior affiliation.  The Methodist Church believes  God's grace is freely given to all.  We offer many opportunities for spiritual growth through Worship, Bible Study, Sunday School for all ages, and Prayer Ministry.  Putting love and faith into action locally as well as globally is a tradition of the Methodist Church and of our congregation.  We invite you to visit Fairview Grace and consider walking with us on your faith journey.

Our Sunday School Hour for adults and children is at 9:30 AM.  Morning Worship is at 10:30 AM. Following the Children's' Sermon child care is available for the younger children.   All are welcome to study and worship with us.

Summerfest

Summerfest is a community outreach program sponsored by the City of Fairview Park.  Fairview Grace Church participated for the first time in July, 2007.  From our booth members of the congregation distributed information about our church, ran a fishing game for children (every child was a winner) and sold bottled water and juices.  It was a wonderful opportunity for members of the community to learn about our church and meet some of our church family.

Fairview Hunger Center

The Hunger Center is located at 21139 Lorain Road Room #4.  It is open Tuesday and Friday from 1:00 - 3:00 pm for Clients and Donations.  The center serves Fairview Park residents only.    The Outreach committee has a barrel located in our church lobby to receive donations.  There is always a need for staples such as: small boxes of cereal, spaghetti, noodles, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, bars of soap, toilet paper and paper towels.

Piece-Makers

The piece-makers members work from their own homes to crochet and knit baby hats for newborns at Fairview Hospital.  There are no meetings and the work is done at your convenience.  We would welcome you to join us in this rewarding project.  Yarn and instructions are provided.  All hats are delivered in the name of the Church as a Mission Outreach Project.

Anyone interested in joining our group, please feel free to take instructions and yarn.  If you have any questions, please call Sharon Bowles, 440-734-4182.

Laura's Home

For the past two years our Church has provided Easter Baskets for 50 women and children who reside at Laura's Home, a shelter for women and children involved in domestic violence situations.  The home is affiliated with the City Mission.  The baskets contain useful items appropriate for the residents of the shelter.  Additional baskets are also provided by Rockport and North Olmsted United Methodist Churches.

Adopt a Family  Program

Each Christmas Fairview Grace participates in the Salvation Army's Adopt a Family Program.  Usually we provide Christmas gifts for a family with children, a senior citizen and also a veteran.  Members of the congregation purchase gifts as requested by the recipients.  It's a rewarding program for all who participate.
 

Fairview Grace Festival

Our first Festival was in August, 2007.  It was held on the lot beside the church and offered bands, food, face painting, miniature golf, a giant rummage sale and a host of other activities.  We hope to make it an annual event.
