1 OUR VISION Grace Community Church is a mosaic striving to live like Jesus. Annual Report 2018/2019

2 GRACE COMMUNITY CHURCH ANNUAL REPORT 2018/2019 Grace is truly a mosaic. On a weekly basis I hear moving stories about the impact our church is having on the community. People from all walks and in all stages of life express their gratitude for Grace. I am humbled by these stories and quick to respond that it is the power of Christ at work through our church family that makes Grace what it is. This year Grace celebrates 120 years! In this banner year we remember the faithful who founded this church and those who came before us upholding its mission. At the same time, we look ahead, attentive to the vision God is giving our generation and continuing the good work started so many years ago. Our church has become a place of healing for many. Hope has been found or restored in both families and individuals. Because of your openness and authenticity Grace is a safe place where all people are welcome to be on a deepening journey of faith, discovery and growth. There is still great need in our community and it is up to us to spread God's irresistible love. It is a humbling honor to be a pastor at this great church and I appreciate your faithfulness in attending, serving, and giving to help us reach even more people for the cause of Christ. I am excited about what God has for us in the coming year.
