Mercy Ministries, Grace Gala 2011

Well, Sweetie and I went to the third Grace Gala Saturday evening. We were so excited about this over a month ago, we signed up to host a table! The centerpieces were put together by a friend of ours, Cathy Boles. She used ostrich plumes and a rotating light to create a beautiful touch to each table!


 It was a joint effort to raise money for Mercy Ministries. Here is a link to the website if you are interested in being a part of this important ministry. http://www.mercyministries.ca/
We got all dressed up and went out to the Country Club, had a nice dinner, and listened to different speakers share about the ministry. We were saddened to hear the statistics on how many girls are abused and used for sex trafficking here in the States. We rejoiced with one lady who is a recipient of Mercy  Ministries, as she shared with us her life story and how she accepted Christ, and with the help of MM transformed her life.
There were door prizes given away throughout the evening and several gift baskets and donated items in a silent auction that folks could bid on.  Sweetie and I won a stay in an Executive Suite at the Riverview Inn downtown!
Along with Mercy Ministries, we got to listen to one of our dearest and best friends, Daniel Doss sing! He shared a few of his songs with us, including my favorite, "Stained Glass Windows".  If you get a chance, look it up on iTunes. Its thought provoking!
