Wayne's Words
These are exciting days for Grace. In some ways similar to the days of Grace’s beginning. These are days of transition, days of change, days of opportunity. As in the beginning, prayer is of utmost importance in these days becoming days of praise, celebration, and victory. Pray for Pastor Steve LaFarge, Grace’s new senior pastor as he and his wife, Barb, say good-bye to the congregation in Washington. Pray for a smooth transition for them and the church there. Pray for the sale of their house. Pray that when they arrive at Grace, people will be excited and ready to support them in their new ministry. Pray for Sue and I as we continue to anticipate our move back to southern Indiana. We look forward to our move and being close to our families after being away for so many years. Pray for the sale of our house so we can move ahead with plans for our transition. Pray for Grace, that under Steve’s leadership she will climb to new heights, grow to new depths, and move on to greater victories. Pastor Wayne |

Ladies, I just wanted to say “THANK YOU” for the wonderful breakfast you gave Saturday. It was so nice of you to think of me and touching to hear the kind words. Yes, I will always be “a part” of Grace and will think of you often. God bless you as you move into the next phase of your lives here. Sue |
