This week for prayer… STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Brett Fischer, Shepherds College, Union Grove, WI CHURCH LEADERSHIP: Elder: William Benson; Deacon: Chris Barton PARTNERS with GRACE: Don & Vivian Rhody, Crossing Cultures, Int.,
Aukland New Zealand-- email: donaldrhody@gmail.com • Vivian and I have been looking around for a more permanent place to live and the Lord has provided a “flat” -- The rent is cheaper than what we pay in the city, and it is a little bigger. It is still only a one-bedroom flat, but very adequate for us. We are a ten minute walk to the seaside, and the countryside is almost right out of our door. When we have to come into the city, we can easily get in by the ferry, or we can drive into where I teach in the Bible School – only about 45 minutes away, mostly over country roads. We move in March 27. Next task: find a car. • Thanks to all of you who have sent us letters (both e-mail and the old fashioned kind). I think we all agree that the old fashioned kind are great and we encourage you to keep writing them, but perhaps not until we have a new address. “We have been encouraged lately as to how the Lord may have been preparing the means by which our work can be of help in the Pacific Islands. It is too early to share any specifics since we do not yet know, but please also pray for this.”

Have you recently upgraded to an HD Television?
We are looking for a Television to install above the fireplace in the Library for a “live feed” of the services in progress. We would like to have this option available as a convenience for those who need to leave the auditorium during the service. If you have a larger-screen TV (up to 40”—need not be HD) you no longer need, please contact Brian at the church: 326-4838 or bhelmuth@grandgrace.org.
