Special Thanks:
Grace Family, thank you so much for all of the cards and gifts that you sent for Staff Appreciation. Shepherding you is not a calling we take lightly. It's a joy to witness God working His Spirit in and through you. We know He's taking us beyond where we are - individually and collectively, and it’s a journey we look forward in taking with you. Your love and support means a lot to us. We're blessed to be a part of this church family. For His Glory.  ~ Shawn, Peter, Sheri, and Mindy.
