GRACE NEWS - July 15 - July 21, 2012


“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.” Ps. 100:4

We are very thankful to GOD for all the work HE did in the lives of our Youth during the ARC Conference in CA. Please pray for them as they return home today.

We are also grateful for the work HE did in and through the lives of the CA Youth Group that ministered in White River and stayed at Grace this past week. We look forward to hearing testimonies from both groups!

We praise GOD and give HIM thanks for Joe Rodriguez’ successful kidney transplant this week, as well as Dick Mecone’s shoulder and eye surgeries. Please continue to pray for each of their recoveries.

EDUCATIONAL  UPDATE

In September, Derek will be continuing his seminary education with Master's Institute. He has two more years until he graduates with an M-Div degree in Christian Leadership. He has 14 credits left until graduation. This translates to multiple trips per year to both Minneapolis and California.

There are a few ways that you can help, if you would like to do so: First, if you would like to donate monetarily, you may write a check to Grace Church and please note "Derek's Education" in the memo. Also, if you have any airline miles you could donate, that would be an enormous help!

Derek is looking forward to the next year and wishes to express his gratitude to everyone who has supported him thus far. Thank you for your continued prayers and support
