God Bless Our Mothers!!
To the mothers of us all, God bless you! You are gifts from God to us and we pray that your Heavenly Father would continuously shower upon you His marvelous grace and mercy.
You have sacrificed much, loved much, and given much. May you be honored this coming Mother's Day with much love and support.
Mother's Day Weekend
The coming Sunday is Mother's Day. Mrs. Evelyn Doneghy will be ministering at Grace House. For those of you who have heard Sister Evelyn, you know she always has an encouraging word which rests on the truth of Scripture. She is very anointed as a teacher and preacher of God's Word. Please invite a friend to come with you so they can get in on the blessing.

Have You Seen the Video from Carriacou?
Check out the work and a special thank you message from Pastor Happy on the home page of our website. We want you all to see the building and the beauty of the area plus hear how much God used you in blessing our brothers and sisters there.
I had always talked about my job a lot at home, and my young daughter had always expressed great interest. So I thought it would be a treat for her to spend the day with me at the office. Since I wanted it to be a surprise, I didn't tell her where we were going, just that it would be fun. Although usually a bit shy, she seemed excited to meet each colleague I introduced. On the way home, however, she seemed somewhat down.
"Didn't you have a nice time?" I asked.
"Well, it was okay," she responded. "But I thought it would be more like a circus."
Confused, I asked, "Whatever do you mean?"
She said, "Well, you said you work with a bunch of clowns, and I never got to see them!"
