A special thank you to the retired pastor who made two $500 gifts to Grow in Grace in order to encourage pastors and lay leaders to grow together in carrying out the gospel ministry entrusted to them. Thank you also to all the applicants for these grants. It is so wonderful to see so many congregations working together with lay leaders and communities in this way.
Special congratulations to our winners: St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, Niles, IL, and Christ Lutheran Church, Lodi, CA.
