Program – Drew Flamm, President of Grace College, was our speaker. We heard about the mission of Grace College, “We are a Christ-centered community of higher education applying biblical values in strengthening character, sharpening competence, and preparing for service.”

Humility is not so much about making little of ourselves as it is about exalting Jesus. Humility Reigns is our chapel theme for this school year and you can tune in to our chapel services on YouTube.

Grace College is Christ Centered and Community Connected. A $27 million Lilly Grant was recently received by the College, which will be used to construct new buildings, renovate existing buildings and provide improvements to the community.

Thought for the day ~ No matter what happens this month at least you are not a Turkey!
