Shady Grove Baptist Church supports ongoing ministries
The members of Shady Grove Bap tist Church are actively involved in several ongoing ministries. One of these is the Operation Christmas Child shoe box project. Church staff encourage everyone to take advantage of sales on toys and other items to fill the shoe boxes.
Another key ministry is G.R.A.C.E. Ministries, which focuses on Guatemala Relief and Compassion Efforts. To support this initiative, coffee from Guate-mala is being sold at Shady Grove Baptist Church for $10 per pound. All proceeds go to benefit the ministry.

Shady Grove Baptist Church members are also collecting Pop Tops from canned drinks for Danville-Neel Elementary School. These pop tops will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Alabama.
In addition, the church supports the Hands Across Decatur Food Pantry, which has an ongoing need for items such as potted meat, Spam, Vienna sausage, beans and franks, protein bars, energy bars, chicken or tuna packs, singleserve water flavorings, and Gatorade.
