October is Pastor Appreciation Month
Pastor Appreciation Month is a special time that congregations set aside each year to honor their pastors for the hard work, sacrificial dedication and multiple blessings provided by these special people. It is also important to remember that appreciation, affirmation and prayer support of our spiritual leaders is appropriate throughout the entire year.
We know that Pastor David would be deeply grateful if you would consider extra prayer for the church and him during this month. In honor of Pastor Appreciation month, take the time to express your thanks for Pastor David’s ministry to us, for his unfailing support of Grace, and his love for Jesus Christ, Our Savior. Grace is blessed to have you, Pastor David, as our minister!
ReConnection Youth Yard Sale was a Success!

Thanks go out to all the people who donated items, helped by making signs, worked to set up and clean up the Fellowship Hall, or volunteered their time at the yard sale or in another capacity. Without your willingness to help, the yard sale would never have been so successful. Thank you!
