1. Denise Phelps Ordination

Sunday, August 22, 9:30 a.m. Sanctuary

Join us as we ordain Denise as Assistant Pastor for Congregational Care, and celebrate her during the worship service on Sunday morning. Denise started at Grace in 2013 as the part-time Director of Encore Ministry. As staff shifted and God continued to call her, she moved into Adult Education then into Congregational Care and Women’s Ministries where she currently serves. Congratulations and well done, Denise!
