Club Meth to Christ

If you haven't taken the time to read Rodney Williams book, "Club Meth to Christ", then you've missed an opportunity to minister. Sound odd - not really. Each time I buy another copy of the book, I find myself giving it away within the week. It is a tool each of us recovered addicts need in our arsonal. You can call the office to order a copy or order it online at www.clubmethtochrist.com.

Call for Funding for the New Bldg

If you haven't been to the new campus, as of late, you are missing a site. The slabs have been poured and the iron structure of the new bldg is well on its way. With the Men's Campus at over 100% capacity - it is more important than ever to complete this project.

The decision to go ahead with this project was one made in faith. Total cost for this project is over $2 million. I believe the Alumni can make a significant contribution to this project. At the next Alumni Service, May 12th, we will be discussing how we, as Alumni, can leave a lasting impact on the Home of Grace.

Some suggestions have included funding a room in the new bldg, the creation of an Alumni garden behind the bldg and the creation of an Alumni Scholarship fund. These are all great ideas - let's decide and move forward!

For more information or to give your input: either leave a comment here or email alumni@homeofgrace.org.

April's Alumni Night at the HoG

This was one of the most spirit filled alumnis I've ever been to. March 10th was our one year big alumni it was great, I think it was a record braker. But last night the spirit of God was so great in the house you could taste it. I tear up sometimes at some graduations, but last night I wept, no no - I cried. This is what its all about, restoration, famlies restored our lives put back on track. Thank you Jesus for letting the Home of Grace be a vessel that I passed through.
