On Sunday, July 20th, our Pastor of 45 years, John Marvin had his retirement. Many "old-timers" from out of town came back to celebrate with the church family what God had accomplished through John and Betty Marvin. There was a fantastic dinner and program afterwards. DVD's are available of the day if you missed it. Contact the church secretary, Robin, at 815 939-4579 ex. 221 to order your copy, or email her at robinodette@gracebaptistministries.org
