I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. (1 Corinthians 3:6-7)

What a blessing it is to celebrate twenty years of God "giv[ing] the growth" in the lives of many through the ministry of Way of Grace Church. Some of those lives remain with us in terms of regular fellowship. But most have moved out onto other paths. What a privilege to play some part in God's redeeming work in the hearts of these individuals and families! It certainly hasn't been an easy path. But as you know, Jesus never promised us an easy path (John 16:33). We are so thankful that He has "overcome the world", and that we have experienced, and will continue to experience, his incomparable victory. 

Like the psalmist who declared, "I will recount all of our wonderful deeds" (Psalm 9:1), we're excited to gather on the evening of Sunday, October 5th for a time of celebration and thanksgiving. Click here to learn more and to register for that anniversary dinner.

If you are unable to join us for that special evening, we invite you to leave a note in the comment section below. How is or how has Way of Grace blessed you? What memories do you have that you might share? What kind of encouragment might you share with us as we look forward to the next twenty years of serving Christ in our community? Help us to recount all of God's "wonderful deeds" by sharing a comment below. Or if you'd like to send us a note, or an audio or video recording, please send those by October 1st to admin@wayofgracechurch.com.

The image on the right side is from one of our first Sunday Gathering in October or November of 2005. Those meetings took place in a small event room connected to the library at Buckeye Union High School. What an exciting adventure began that year, and we're grateful for all those who in some way have been part of our story... or more accurately, God's story. We look forward to seeing you soon, or hearing from you soon, and we're grateful for your continued prayers.
