Gramas' work at the Lakes Entrance bowls club as chaplain means he is constantly "on call" to meet the needs of the bowlers at his club. He recalls, "I just began to arrive early on game days to lend a hand with the setting up of the greens with the Greenkeeper and talking to the match committee of the day. In a matter of a few weeks I was approached by the club secretary with a request to visit a member with a need. Which led to another, [and] then another, and before I knew what was happening there was a great inflow of positive feedback.

His work at the Bowls club has taken him well beyond its members. He has been contacted by "numerous people" enquiring about the "wellbeing of the sick and the shut ins..."

Although his appointment and acceptance as chaplain has come around in a short amount of time the years as a playing member has seen him establish meaningful credibility. "The most important thing I have found over my years associated with the club is the need to be genuine with all those you come in contact with..." further to that he remarks, "or we will not "earn" the credibility to speak into their [the members] lives, nor will they be prepared to listen to what we have to say."

"In the three months since the appointment the club have now offered to pay for any phone calls, and fuel costs associated with my position, I have been asked to become a coach and also a mentor to young teenagers now being developed and integrated into the bowlers ranks."

Gramas encourages those who do work beyond the walls of the church to minister "according to the old proverb 'be naturally spiritual and spiritually natural'. Because those that live in darkness can observe and identify the smallest shaft of light!"
