Grace and peace to you in the name of the one who came so we could live by grace and live in peace. Here is a new way Mercy Meals and More hopes to raise some funds with the help of Michael Westerviller. I realize this event is not until June but we need deposits soon so we can reserve hotel rooms and buses. As always blessings from God are being requested for you for all you do each day as you journey by faith. May your eyes be opened to see them and your hands open to receive them in whatever form God choose to -them in response to this request.-Rev. Russ 5257
