Our family represents 3 generations at Grace Church -- my husband and in-laws for nearly 40 years; my daughter Sophie for 8 years; and me for 16 years (staff member for 6). Our overwhelming sentiment is that “God is doing amazing things at Grace, and we are so glad to be a part of it!”
Dana and I were neck deep in the Relocation process – from design to building to furnishing to finances. It was a labor of love to see our new facility born and now being used as a beacon of hope to our community. We not only invested considerable time and effort in the project, but also our money. For the past 5 ½ years, we’ve given generously beyond our tithe to support the building process. Why?
Why did we go out to eat minimally, continue driving our rusty 13 & 15 year old cars, and take limited or no vacations? Why did we make these & other lifestyle sacrifices? Because people matter…investing in eternity matters…investing in the lives of people we don’t even know makes ripples into eternity forever. No other investment here on earth can do that.
We took a step of faith with our faith promise and have seen God supply it in ways we never suspected – plus our cars are still running! Investing in life change brings a great return!

Long Absence
It's been a long time since I've written anything. The pace of life -- work, home, school, etc. has been very fast the past 6 or 8 weeks. Thankfully, our family broke free and spontaneously traveled to Niagara Falls last weekend. Days off converged. The weather was gorgeous. An affordable hotel room was available. Niki had a great time shooting photos and getting a change of scenery. Sophie loved staying in the hotel & eating out. Dana and I enjoyed getting out of the routine. I'd recommend driving the scenic route along the Niagara River and taking the extra time to visit the quaint town of Niagara-On-The-Lake. It is well worth it.
