Stories of Change. God has been working every single day in 2020, and your generosity makes it possible. Give today to the Christmas Offering — then read, and be encouraged about what God will do in the year ahead with your gifts.
We’ll keep updating every week with new stories throughout December.
Once I truly accepted Jesus Christ as my one true Lord and Savior, my anxiety went away and my marriage and relationship with my kids transformed.
“Like many others, my connection with Christ had taken the back burner in my life as we became busy with two young kids, school and basic everyday life. I was living what I thought should be a “good life” but was spiritually empty and therefore never truly fulfilled. Once Covid happened, I started to experience strong anxiety that I’ve never encountered before and a friend of mine who is very active at Grace recommended I check out your sermons online.
“As I watched the series on Living a Worthy Life, it felt like Pastor Mike, Clint, and Grant were speaking directly to me. I started listening to all the previously recorded sermons while waiting in school carline or anytime I had some free time, and felt such a strong connection. This led me to open my Bible and start reading scripture everyday, and once I truly accepted Jesus Christ as my one true Lord and Savior, my anxiety went away and my marriage and relationship with my kids transformed. It felt like I had been given a new heart with a new outlook on life.
“Now I have been attending Grace with my husband and two kids in person ever since you reopened and as I pray during the services, I’ve been asking God what He desires for my next step to serve Him. Every single time, I’ve gotten the clear image of myself getting baptized. This is something a year ago I never would have seen myself doing and I truly feel like this was His plan for me in His perfect timing. A few days after this image of baptism, I saw the Grace post about fall baptisms…and I knew this was His will for me.” – Jenna
I confess that I often thought: ‘This help will only be in the beginning, then everyone will go on with their lives and I will continue without so much support.’ After 10 months, I am still in treatment, and still receiving all the support we need from the church.
“It was very difficult to hear again the diagnosis ‘cancer.’ I had heard it 19 years ago, and I knew what lay ahead of me: the side effects from the treatment, the dependence on others, doctors appointments, needles, invasive tests, and the fear of the unknown.
“The shock this time was stage IV lung cancer, metastasized to the brain and bones. What? The thoughts were inevitable: How are we going to pay our share of health insurance? How are we going to pay our bills, since my husband Paulo was still recovering from a car accident in November 2019? So many other doubts and uncertainties.
“The only certainty and peace I had was that if my time here was over, I would go into the Father’s arms, receive a new name and an incorruptible body, because Jesus died for me to heal me from the worst of cancers: sin.
“Today I can see that God was already working on my care, fears, and uncertainties long before I was diagnosed. When I was hospitalized, I informed my Grace Oviedo women’s gC to pray for me. The answer wasn’t just, ‘We are praying for you.’ They immediately offered to do anything they could to help: meals for my family, if I needed anything at the hospital, etc.
“Pastor Clint, Pastor Kyle, and some members of the leadership came to pray for me at the hospital on the worst day of my stay. Their prayers gave me the comfort and strength I needed that day.
“My family and I felt immediate spiritual, emotional, and financial support from our Grace family. We received visits, flowers, cards, presents, gift cards, meals, rides to go for radiation treatment, help to pay rent, electricity bills, medical expenses, and groceries – even masks to go to the doctor’s office! I shared my need with my gC and in 15 minutes I had masks at my front door!
“The constant prayers and spiritual, emotional, and financial support made this journey lighter. I could see God’s love for me so clearly through my Grace community.
“I confess that I often thought: ‘This help will only be in the beginning, then everyone will go on with their lives and I will continue without so much support.’ After 10 months, I am still in treatment, and still receiving all the support we need from the church. The needs have changed, but my Grace family is still with me on this healing journey.
“Thank you Grace Church, and a special thank you to the Oviedo campus, for showing me so much love.” – Kay
We did not know last December when we prepared for the Christmas offering what this year would bring, but God knew.
“Two years ago, Care and Counseling at Grace was just a dream. Pastor Mike had an incredible vision of what it could be some day, but it seemed like a long road ahead with few directions on how to get there. Jesus teaches in Luke 16:10 that ‘He that is faithful with little things is faithful with big things also.’ So we committed to being faithful with what we had and started in February 2019 with 3 therapists who provided counseling one evening a week. We were seeing an average of 30 clients per month, borrowing the pastors offices in the evenings. By January of 2020, we had grown to 4 therapists, expanded our hours and saw about 45 clients that month.
“And then 2020 happened.
“We went from 4-8 therapists in a few short months, and by November we were open 4 days a week, daytime and evening time, and were seeing about 200 clients a month in whatever empty room we could find.
“Let me say it again for those in the back: We went from 45 clients in January to 200 in November. That is with zero networking or advertising. We did not know last December when we prepared for the Christmas offering what this year would bring, but God knew. He knew we would all need a safe space to process 2020, and that things would grow exponentially this year.
“And now, here we are in December 2020, joyously opening the doors of a brand new counseling center to provide even more hours of reduced-rate counseling to our people and our city. To offer counseling in conjunction with a church is an incredible resource for both the church and the clients. I love that the staff and people of Grace are our biggest referral source, that you trust your friends and family who are hurting to find hope and healing through counseling rooted in Christ. But I also love that clients are able to be connected to the resources Grace has to offer. It is such a blessing to watch clients take their next steps at Grace by serving, joining a Grace community, and being involved in Bible studies and theology classes. This makes the work done in session so much richer, because it doesn’t have to stay in session. It becomes part of their lives.
“So from the bottom of my heart, my Grace family, thank you. Thank you for your donations, thank you for your referrals, and thank you for your prayers. In the midst of a dark and lonely season, I await in great expectation for all that God is going to do in 2021. Not because this year has been easy, but because I have seen how He has made something beautiful out of it.” – Julie Hotalen, Grace Care and Counseling Coordinator
Grace became the embodiment of loving the hospital community as Christ would.
“We walk into the hospital each day not knowing what we may encounter. Eliminating visitors means we have to stand in for family as we watch our sickest patients pass away, not able to be surrounded by loved ones. We hold their hands so they aren’t alone. We hold up iPads so our patient’s loved ones can say good-bye. I honestly don’t think anyone who has lived through this and cared for these patients will walk away unaffected.
“I’ve known from the first day that my family walked into Grace Church that there was something special about this place. In this season, Grace has stepped up and sent warm meals to our staff working in COVID units who continue to struggle with the grief of living this saga day to day.
“Grace became the embodiment of loving the hospital community as Christ would. When you feel like you are hanging on by a thread, a thoughtful gesture sometimes provides the needed strength to carry on. It never failed that the meals would come at just the right time, on the hardest days, to remind our staff that people out there were thinking of us and praying for us when we felt so isolated and forgotten.
“The meals provided by Grace also opened up many opportunities for meaningful discussions and sparked interest in knowing more about this church that was on a mission to show us love.
“And not only were meals provided for our staff, but care packages with snacks and cards came from Grace as well, with offers for reduced-cost counseling. The giant Easter donut order that would have gone to the church instead went to area hospitals with cards containing a link to a video from Pastor Mike letting us know the church was praying for us.
“If you asked any of us if we thought this virus would still be wreaking havoc almost a year later, we would have said no. We are in this fight for the long haul, and I can’t begin to tell you how much it has meant to feel the love and support of the church behind us during this time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of you whose generosity has made it possible for Grace to pour love out on others. And thank you for the continued prayers as we fight this beast.” – Jenn, ICU Nurse
That night I told my mom I wanted to ask the Lord into my heart.
“When COVID started, my mom’s friend told her about Grace Winter Garden and about a women’s Bible study meeting online. My mom got involved and met Mrs. Paula, one of the Grace Students leaders. When Mrs. Paula found out how old I was, she invited me to join students online, too.
“Despite Mrs. Paula living so far away, she brought Grace goodie bags to my house. My mom shared how we were struggling because of COVID and my parents’ recent separation. Grace helped out with our groceries. When the church reopened, everyone was so excited to see me! I love listening to Pastor Grant, he’s so funny! I love learning something new every week.
“I joined a Bible study, about how the Bible is one big love story from God to us. I learned so much, and Pastor Grant would say something during the service about what I had just learned. Everything started to come together for me. God was so good to our family and provided for us in ways we never would’ve imagined.
“Mrs. Paula told us about the Pause Retreat at GraceStudents. I had never been to a retreat before, and didn’t know what to expect. There were so many students from each campus. In small group discussion, I realized other people have similar or even worse situations than I do.
“We also did a boat-building exercise. Mr. Tyler explained to us how God is the captain and we are the helmsmen, and we have to trust God to lead us where He wants us to go. It was like that lesson was meant for me. Right then, I realized how close I could be to God and that I wanted a better relationship with Him. ‘On Monday, my friend Katie and I went out for coffee. She asked me if I had asked the Lord into my heart. I said not yet, I didn’t know how. I didn’t want to mess up because it’s a big deal. She told me it is a big deal, but it doesn’t have to be anything special.
“That night I told my mom I wanted to ask the Lord into my heart. We prayed together. I’ve started doing devotions on the Bible app and am looking forward to a new study in January. I’m so thankful God led us to Grace and the amazing people who have become part of our lives.” — Livi, 7th grade
Your donations help heal and feed and shelter and counsel so many, including me. Humbly and with a full heart, I thank you.
“I began attending Grace 8 years ago with my family, and began to learn, in my 60s, new things about God and the Bible.
“Shortly afterward though, I became extremely ill. I did not have the money to go for follow up medical care. Grace Church found a doctor who was willing to see me free of charge. He diagnosed me with an autoimmune disease I still deal with today. Then Grace purchased the medications I needed.
“Grace has been there every step of the way since. Nearly 6 years ago I moved into senior housing. It was a traumatic move, and without wise and patient counsel it would have been unbearable. It is a joy to see how contributions by those at Grace are making it possible for the counseling program to be expanded.
“I pay 72% of my income in rent. Grace has provided me with Publix gift cards on many occasions so I can eat. When a former employer, paid me with a check that bounced, I was in danger of being evicted. Grace made sure that did not happen.
“Health issues have stolen my mobility. I have a therapist who comes to my apartment several times a week. Over the years I have been able to do less and less around my home.
“Enter more help from Grace. People scrubbed my bathroom, did my dishes, and dusted, in order to make my apartment sparkle. And they did it with smiles, and laughter and made me feel less shame as they went along. They acted as if I was doing them a favor!
“A member of my family in Pennsylvania was so impressed by all Grace has been doing for me that he made a contribution to the church. But there is more to that story, because he considers himself an atheist. That gift was the first he made to a church in his life. He calls me now to ask me to put someone on the prayer list. His walls are coming down a bit at a time. Not because of what I say or do, but because of what he sees Grace doing.
“I thank those of you I do not know. You are the hands and feet of Christ on earth. Your generosity changes lives. Your donations help heal and feed and shelter and counsel so many, including me. Humbly and with a full heart, I thank you.” – Susan
For some reason I got the urge to open my Bible app. I never just read the Bible for guidance, to be honest. That is still so new to me. But as I read from the book of Peter, God spoke to me.
“Even though Pastor Clint knows I haven’t fully been a believer, he has consistently encouraged me to join a Grace Community. This year, he helped me find the right one, and my leaders have been amazing and so supportive! A few weeks ago, Pastor Clint’s sermon really hit me, and for some reason I got the urge to open my Bible app.
“I never just read the Bible for guidance, to be honest. That is still so new to me. But as I read from the book of Peter, God spoke to me. I started a business with the idea of wanting to spread positivity in this crazy world, but God has shown me that I am meant to spread more than just a positive message. I am meant to spread His message. I have never felt this before, and I just want to thank Pastor Clint for continuing to have hope in me even when he could tell I didn’t want to go to a Grace Community.”- Courtney
Through Grace’s partnership with Antioch Missionary Baptist Church this year, not only were we able to provide hundreds of people with food, we were able to help spread the message of hope to people that need it so desperately.
By living out Big-Hearted Generosity and Extraordinary Servanthood, we were able to provide Thanksgiving meals to hundreds of families in the Bithlo and Christmas area. Through Grace’s partnership with Antioch Missionary Baptist Church this year, not only were we able to provide hundreds of people with food, we were able to help spread the message of hope to people that need it so desperately. And that message is this: That they matter! Not only to us, but to God. And that Grace exists to help them take a next step toward Christ. Now, we are are connected with so many families and we are ready to reach them through our in-person or online services, so that they can have a consistent place to hear the message of Jesus. – Pastor Mark V.
I immediately felt a connection to the Word of God and started taking notes in my Bible — for the first time in a very long time.
“I’ll never forget our first time at Grace. I was nervous and quite honestly, didn’t want to set my hopes too high.What I didn’t know was that Grace would bring me great hope — a hope for which I had been so desperately searching. That summer Sunday, I didn’t know yet that I was home, but Grace quickly became home. In graceKIDS, our children were greeted with smiles and instant friends.
“The following week, they received a postcard in the mail from their gK! teacher. They were seen, valued, and loved. The worship experienced moved me to tears as songs were sung with passion, conviction, and truth. I watched the service unfold with excellence and was amazed at how intentional Grace was about every single aspect of the worship. Pastor Mike preached with boldness, clarity, and honesty. I immediately felt a connection to the Word of God and started taking notes in my Bible — for the first time in a very long time.
“My children have both been baptized at Grace, learned to serve in graceKIDS!, taken Next Steps through GraceStudents, and made life-long friendships. My marriage is 1000% better because of Grace and the men and women who chose to invest in both me and my husband. Our closest friends are at Grace and in our Grace Community. Sunday worship is the highlight of our week.
“Teaching Women’s Bible Studies at Grace has pushed me to take Next Steps I never thought possible. My first Bible Study, I was so nervous I could barely talk, but week after week, I kept showing up, meeting with the same group of women. Together, we studied God’s word and His attributes, and I became less and less nervous. One Bible Study led to another, and to another, and now, there’s an entire group of women consistently meeting to grow in Biblical Maturity together!
“I’ve been in church four decades, and I can’t say this enough: Grace is home. It’s home for me, my family, and it’s home for so many others, too.” – Amy
I attempted to take my life on September 3, 2019. But in the midst of the darkness of my mind, a voice said “You don’t have to do this today.”
“Growing up I was raised by parents who had been spiritually abused and confused. Although they were worlds better than their parents, we suffered much of the same brokenness they did in the form of addiction, abuse, and spiritual confusion.I always looked for a male role model to heal from the pain of my childhood.
“I had years of therapy under my belt, but after the stress of a divorce, I attempted to take my life on September 3, 2019. But in the midst of the darkness of my mind, a voice said “You don’t have to do this today.” I heard this as clear as a bell. I made a decision not to take my life and get help.
“I didn’t go to church then, but as a result of miscommunication with a friend, I ended up at Grace Orlando “on accident,” and instantly felt a peace I have never felt in church. I started attending Grace Winter Garden because it was closer to me.
“It’s truly hard to express the impact Grace Winter Garden has had on me. Pastor Grant got me connected into a Bible study. I finally found my true male role model in Jesus and have been able to help others through my experience. I also got plugged into serving. I attend the men’s theology breakfast regularly, and a couple of guys and I have started a men’s group that focuses on real life topics men face.Jesus has healed not only me, but He has started a healing in my family that will be the start of a generational relationship with Jesus.
“I believe that God is going to use my pain and experience to heal others and Grace is the starting point for this journey.When I hear ‘Good Is Ahead’ I can’t tell you how true that is. I have never before experienced community and relationship like I have here at Grace, and this is just the beginning. – David
I prayed so long for God to use me, and I saw that He has been using me all along.
When the church reopened after COVID this September, I was so nervous to start going to Grace Students again. I got an email from Pastor Mike Standish, though, saying he thought I’d be a great addition to the students leadership team.
I was genuinely surprised and thought why me? I was the quiet person that barely said anything to a stranger. I thought I would never be a part of that team — it was too intimidating – but I heard that quiet voice in my head saying I should fill out the application. I listened, not thinking of how anxious I would be in room full of people I did not know very well. Well, I thought, at least I’ll have a reason to be at Students now.
At the first leaders’s meeting, I was terrified. Everyone already knew each other; I was the new kid. What if they don’t like me? Will they even know who I am? But after the meeting felt better and thought, I can at least set up chairs, right?
When people say serving changes you, believe them. I got to meet people I would have never met before. I got to see how my peers are so deeply rooted in God’s word. It prompted a deep thirst for knowledge of God in me. I finally realized that I did not have to be the person on the stage for God to use me. I learned to stop comparing my spiritual gifts to other’s spiritual gifts. I was given hope from seeing God work in those around me.
I prayed so long for God to use me, and I saw that He has been using me all along. He is using me through my words, actions, and in the mundane of everyday life.
I go into church on Sunday nights beyond excited to be there. I will set up chairs and be a friend to the new person. Because if someone sits in those chairs and heard the gospel for the first time or takes steps toward Jesus, it’s worth it. If knowing one person makes someone want to come back for a second time, it’s worth it. If God can use me in my brokenness He can use anyone for His glory. No one is too far gone for Jesus.
– Grace, sophomore
I knew that God was calling me to cast those anxieties onto him, but the problem was that I did not know how to do it.
“In the year that I have been going to Grace Counseling, I have witnessed God working in my life in so many different ways. I have seen my faith in the Lord increase immeasurably because I now have my counselor as a Godly influence assuring me and helping me realize how God has been intervening in my testimony.“ I came to Grace Counseling with wounds I received at a very young age that I wasn’t sure that I would ever be able to face again. Suppressing them was what I knew, and that’s how I was comfortable. I knew that God was calling me to cast those anxieties onto him, but the problem was that I did not know how to do it. Grace Counseling walked me through the process of what that looked like for me, and I can confidently say that God has redeemed me from nearly every lie that I believed at the beginning of my journey to complete healing. My journey isn’t over, and I still struggle from time to time, but now I know what it feels like to be touched by the healing power of the Holy Spirit. I cannot say thank you enough to the people who believe in Grace Counseling and have been faithful to the vision and calling given to them.“If I can encourage anyone reading this who is considering going to Grace Counseling, it’s this: if you are thinking about it, God is stirring something in you already. I was afraid to make an appointment because I did not want to expose my wrongdoings in life or have to mentally relive the hurt in my life.
Consider giving Grace Counseling the honor of praying over you and partnering with God to pursue the calling He has for your life.” -Kate
Grace Church responded as the hands and feet of Jesus.
Words can’t accurately express enough appreciation for your consistent, faithful, and overwhelming love for Edgewood Children’s Ranch.
In addition to the impact COVID had on our campus this spring, Edgewood is still healing from the grief of losing our beloved leader, Stuart Eldridge, in January. Stuart was one of the humblest men you’d ever meet. He was characterized by a deep belief that God would supply our needs. He would be the first to pray for things, and he encouraged us to be like George Mueller, who found joy in depending on God for every little thing. I often complained to Stuart about the things I thought our office lacked – from filing cabinets to a heavy duty stapler. He would listen patiently, nod his head, and say he’d keep an eye out for my latest “need.” As he would pick up donations for our thrift store, he’d often come across the exact thing! He received great joy from watching God provide, and he continually insisted that we bring our requests to God.
Due to the strict COVID guidelines and early school start, our normal donations and volunteers were unable to be present this year. When Grace reached out asking if there was anything you could do to help, it was like a deep, refreshing breath of hope. I quickly begged for notebook paper, pencils, red pens, and erasers. In addition, your team insisted on wish list items and “wants”– not just “needs.” We created a wish list on Amazon, marked all the essentials as High Priority, prayed that God would supply, and then added a few random things as well. On a whim, I added a heavy duty stapler, thinking that no way was someone going to pay for a stapler for a school supply drive.
It was added more as a nod to wishful thinking.
Grace Church responded as the hands and feet of Jesus. The packages started coming in a slow, welcoming trickle. Little things here and there. Sighs of relief that we had the resources we needed to begin the year. Thinking it was all here, we set up the table for the teachers to “shop.” And then…then…a tsunami of Amazon packages arrived. Several times a day I had to get students with muscles to help me carry the packages to our Family Care building. Other students would help open them and distribute the goodies.
We shared our joy with the students and talked about the faithfulness of God and the power of prayer. Just as God, our good Father, gives us the best gifts, our school was showered with not just needed supplies, but with gifts that we had been longing for for years.
One crazy day, I was opening Amazon boxes, breathing out prayers of thankfulness, when my heart stopped for a few beats. There, in a long white box, was the heavy duty stapler. My silly, non-essential office supply item sent directly to me from heaven – or at least that’s what it felt like.
Thank you, Grace, for supplying our students with items that they needed. Thank you, Grace, for showering our teachers with items that they wanted. Thank you, Grace, for breathing hope into my heart through a heavy duty stapler.
Every time my hand presses the lever, I grasp my very own Ebenezer stone of remembrance. I pray a prayer of thankfulness for a leader who taught me that God loves to supply all my needs and for a church who taught me that God loves to supply all of my desires as well. May the God of abundant joy and endless resources bless each one of you. – Judy Victory, Edgewood Ranch Principal
If we believe in a God that was resurrected from the dead, then we believe in a God who will resurrect the moments in our lives.
“When COVID hit, we lost our job of seven years, and we were confused and heartbroken.
“Our very best friends have attended Grace for years, and Pastor Mark also invited us as he joined the Grace Oviedo staff. Even though we only attended in person for a few weeks before returning to online worship, we KNEW that God was beginning his story of restoration in our lives here. We were quickly invited into a Grace Community, and thought my husband and I have been in groups for a long time, he recently said “I have never loved or felt more connected to a group than the one we are in – I love and look forward to being with them.
” We had hosted groups before but the one we are in now feels like true community, like family. We pray for and support one another throughout the week. Our kids have even shared with us how much they love Grace and our group!
“In the short time we have been together, our Grace Community has experienced loss, and grief, joy, and celebration. When our family had COVID, our group sent meals to our house and someone checked in on us every day. There is an amazing friend in our group whose husband is deployed, and we supported the mom with a girls’ day. We have prayed for and shared in the heartbreak and rejoicing of our lives, and each day I am in awe of what God is doing. I am overwhelmed with God’s great love through this group.
“If we believe in a God that was resurrected from the dead, then we believe in a God who will resurrect the moments in our lives. When everything changes and we have to let ‘our’ version of what is supposed to happen die, and we surrender to what God has in store, His plan for our lives in more than we can every ask for or imagine. Grace is our new home, being a part of a Grace Community is our extended family, and the gratitude the we lean into among all of the uncertainty – keeps our eyes focused on the peace God gifts us in our lives. In this time of uncertainty, my message to everyone is join a Grace Community. I can not wait to hear your story of community, and we will be praying for you.” — Nicole, Grace Oviedo
We wanted people to know that they were not alone.
“Do you remember where you were the afternoon of Friday, March 13, 2020?
“I do. I was sitting in my car, waiting on a stoplight at the intersection of Maitland Boulevard and Maitland Summit Road in Orlando. At that moment, I received a message from Senior Pastor Mike Adkins that we would be canceling all services until further notice because of a new virus that was spreading around the world. In the moment, I was unaware of how my reality would change, and like all of us, I couldn’t imagine what the rest of the year would be like.
“Before March of this year, we had very little online presence as a church. We posted weekly sermons from the Orlando campus, we had social media for announcements and quick connections, and we had a newly released weekly podcast hosted by our campus pastors. That was it; no real way for people to gather, to worship, or to be in community. We had discussed a desire to become more engaged in worship online and had a plan in place…one which we had targeted for a 2022 implementation!
“Sunday, March 15th would change all of that. That weekend, we hustled to collect all the equipment we had in inventory. We sent emails and texts to team members asking if they would be able to come in Saturday morning to help us create a weekend worship experience that we could post online. Somehow, by God’s grace, we were able to create, record, edit, and post a complete service online in less than 24 hours. It was nothing short of a miracle.
“And that was only the beginning. After that first weekend, we took a step back to dream and discuss what we wanted Grace’s online experience to be. Starting at zero is sometimes a blessing — it allows you to create a solution that specifically addresses the need. Worship gatherings at Grace Church have always been designed to create community, so we wanted an experience that engaged everyone online, too. We wanted people to feel like they were with us — not just viewing a presentation on their screens.
“Most importantly, we wanted people to know that they were not alone. That God was with them and that we — His Church — were there, even though we were separated for a time.
“Week after week, we began implementing new ideas and ways of connecting people. Our communications team created fresh ways of reaching people each day of the week. Our creative teams developed new ways to capture songs, sermons, and liturgical moments to engage hearts each Sunday morning. We saw new names pop up in the chat during services, laying out their fears, hopes, and prayers. Honestly, in over 20 years of ministry, I have never experienced such a revival in the hearts of our community. We were all living in this together, feeling one another’s brokenness and crying out to God together.
“The Lord has continued to guide us through this season. We have seen challenge after challenge, and each time he has provided a way to keep accomplishing the mission. Now we stream live every weekend. We are going in to the new year in a position to reach people at our campuses, and now online as we broadcast our weekend services and reach people remotely throughout the week with additional content.
“If this year has taught me anything, it is that even when my plans are wiped away, God is always present, and His promises and His plan will always pull us out of the muck and give us hope for the days ahead.” — Chad Wyatt, Creative Pastor
