Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever wondered how to grow your church in faith, numbers and enthusiasm? Have you ever wanted to get more involved in your community to share your faith and hope? Have you ever wished for more exciting ministries and more of your membership to be involved in those ministries? If you have ever wondered about, wanted or wished for any of these things, A Place of Grace is for you! In these pages you will read about a Russian Circus, a Community Festival and Car Show, a Crab Fest and much, much more! Each of these will give you a piece of the read: puzzle to help you embark on your 'journey to vitality'. Join the people of Grace Presbyterian Church of Martins Ferry, Ohio and their pastor of 25 years, Bill Webster, in their ongoing journey to share the gospel and grow the Kingdom of God! "We realize that in order to live up to our name, we must be a place where the poor are cared for, the sick are healed, the blind receive sight, the widows are supported, the exhausted are revived, the guilty are pardoned, the weak are restored and the outcasts of our world are welcomed. After all, it is A PLACE OF GRACE." (from A Place of GRACE, A Resurrected Church's Journey to Vitality) Rev. William O. Webster, Jr. has been the pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church in Martins Ferry, Ohio since November 1987. He is a graduate of Keane College in New Jersey and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. An avid reader, photographer and cyclist, his other favorite pursuits include spending time at the beach with family and friends and traveling. Bill and his wife, Linda, have three grown children.
