Encounter Church welcomed into the FGBC

Last week I had the opportunity to speak to pastors, wives and delegates from Grace Brethren churches all over the US and Canada about our little church plant. It was the opening day of our national conference called Equip '09 held at our grandmother church, Grace Polaris. We had applied for membership into the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches a few months back and this was my time to publicly tell the larger group who we were. The picture below shows me speaking and the three other church plant leaders who also were welcomed into the fellowship. To see a short write up about us and the other church plants CLICK HERE.

Melissa was asked to participate in a women's panel discussion on Wednesday of the conference and I happened to stumble across this picture of her and my mother who attended the session. Melissa is wearing the green sweater with matching green shoes and my mom is on the right standing next to the red lockers:-)
