A New Day for Grace Community Church

Tomorrow is the big day for our move to Rossview High School. Grace Community Church began meeting about a year and 1/2 ago and we have grown so much that we were out of space. I'm so excited about the new place. It's so wonderful and can accomodate so many more people!!! Friday night was spent getting everything unloaded from the semi-truck and getting it to the right place. There is an auditorium for our worship service, the cafeteria for our pre-schoolers and babies, and the auxillary gyms for the school age children. We'll see how it all works tomorrow. I'm continually blown away that God has allowed us to be a part of this amazing journey with Him. The worship is awesome and the preaching is real. Our community groups have been amazing, for me and Daniel they have been life changing. You might say I'm a little biased since we are on staff and Daniel is the worship leader, but I really don't feel that way. I feel like if I could choose any church I wanted to go to this would be the one. It's the perfect fit, like your favorite pair of shoes. I want to tell everyone where to go to get a pair just like them. Come to Grace at Rossview to see for yourself. :)
***Not sure how many Grace folks read this, but I was blown away at the number of people who came out to help on Friday!!! Thanks so much if you sacrificed your time to help, it will be well worth it tomorrow. :)

I know Miss USA

Did you know that the 2007 Miss USA is from Clarksville, TN??? Did you know that Rachel Smith, Miss USA, SANG IN OUR WEDDING!!!!! That's right Rachel Smith went to the same school I did when she was in middle school and I was in high school. She was an amazing singer and when we got married in 2000 she was about 15 years old. She was known at First Baptist as a great singer and since music was very important to us we asked her to sing a song that Daniel wrote. It was called Mama's Praying and was sang obviously as the grandmas and moms walked down the isle. :) I'm very proud to say I know her and to see what amazing things she accomplishes as a lady of integrity.

I'm so proud, but also so saddened. I missed it because I was watching the NCAA basketball tournament. I didn't even know it was coming on or I would have recorded it. I'm sooo proud to say that I know her. This totally beats out the other pagent claim to fame that I have....Miss Tennessee- Valli Kugular (not sure what year she won, maybe 2001) lived next door to us in our dorm my freshman year. One time we asked her to take our pic...but that's another story. :)
