"Grace Church Van Vorst supports the Repair Cafe because it creates a venue for neighbors to help one another and an opportunity to care for the earth by preventing repairable items from ending up in landfills.  We are proud that the Repair Cafe's founders, Elizabeth Knight-Moss and Roger Moss are members of Grace and are grateful to have the opportunity to support them in this ministry."
– Reverend Laurie Jean Wurm, Rector, Grace Church Van Vorst
