Live Music Comes to the Community Dinner
At Wednesday's Community Dinner, in addition to the great gumbos, we had live music performed by trumpet soloist John Thorburn. He just showed up and started playing. What a neat surprise!
Grace hosts free Community dinners on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month from 5 to 7. All are welcome to share the food, the conversation, and now--music! |

It only requires a couple hours a month. Contact Virginia Chapel at v07libra@fuse.net to volunteer or for more information. Flower guild Maybe you have noticed the flowers on the altar and thought "I'd like to do that." Or even "I wish I could do that." Either way, you can do it.

 Thanks to ...
... to David Mukasa for donating a new wireless lapel microphone. It worked great last Sunday!
... all who prayed for Patty Rogers. The doctors are now calling Patty a walking miracle, and I believe prayer and the energy our energy healers are sending her is a big reason. She is by no means cured, but she is stable. And, she is still alive when initially the doctors thought she would only live a couple of months. She has now been with us for 21 months since diagnosis and is stable although refractory. Read all about it here:
