25th Anniversary Celebration Thank You
25th Anniversary Celebration Thank You
Beloved people of Grace,
Thank you! Words really cannot express how grateful I am for the wonderful worship, fellowship, meal, stories, hugs, and laughter on Sunday to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Grace. It was so much fun to see so many people and meet new friends. Thank you to everyone for extending such warm welcome and hospitality to Pastor Bill Bernau and Deacon Jodi Schuman.
Thank you to Jamie Loggins-Evans for taking pictures and capturing the memories of the day.
Thank you to all the folks who prepared for and served in worship: Sue Cave, Jody and Mark Holmes, Rachael McDaniel, Jeff and Lisa Meyer, Todd Nordquist, Dave Schramm, Eric Schepers, Beth and Bill Shields, Becky Soffa, and Alice and Ron Wicker.
Thank you to the choir for singing praises to God with such beauty.
And a huge thank you to the 25th Anniversary planning committee: Carole Erickson-Schepers (chair), Kim Nordquist (chair), Sandra Christensen, Breanna Duff, Annika Hillmer, Trent Holmberg, Brandi Jensen, and Craig Poldberg. What an amazing year it has been!
As I said on Sunday, I am ever so grateful to be here serving among you and alongside you in our shared life together in Christ. To hear and share our stories. To see and experience and wonder and imagine and dream where God is calling us to next. And to be this church who is the people of Grace.
With joy in Christ,
Pastor Tania
