This great group of people represent the employees and Board of Directors of Grace Urban Development, the nonprofit arm of Grace Church. Through it, we are able to administer programs like Dayton Cooks!, Freedom School, after school programs, Hope and Justice, and immigration ministry. In no particular order, and with some absences, these are the people we celebrated on Sunday:
Johnny Roman, Angel Green, Tony Hunter, Nadirah Ibadullah, Aaron Jackson, Anthony Newton, Lisa Pelphrey, Debbie Nerderman, Linda Bales Todd, Pastor Steve, Lois Henson, and Cindy Cary.
When faced with stumbling blocks to the future we envisioned, Grace Church used God’s promise of freedom to choose this way to minister to our community in ways that the church itself cannot. We are grateful to all the people, past and present, who stepped out in faith!
