It occupied only the small section of the front building of Grace Church. The congregational photo below was taken last year, 2014. God has been pleased to bless the church. Although we can only accommodate 130 persons in the Sanctuary, God has seen fit to use Grace church to start three daughter churches. What can we say to that? We are only the Lord’s instruments. We have done that which He has commanded, to fulfill the Great Commission (Matt 28: 18-20). Thank God for the opportunity to serve the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Going into our 40th year is only by the grace of God. We cannot take His grace for granted. Let us continue to love one another, be united and diligent in our service and passionate in our worship. To God be the glory, great things he has done for Grace Church.
