More Pics...

We have some more great photos of the week, thanks to the Darst and Schippert families, but for some reason they're coming up looking kind of strange.  So, I'm going to post them on Facebook and you'll be able to get the link when I post it on Grace Church's page. 
They'll be up soon!
