“Thanks to everyone who was at our send-off/new adventure last Sunday afternoon.  Thanks for the cards and prayers that have come our way.  Please continue praying for us as we find a new place to worship.  Locust Grove has been home for over 70 years for me and 46 for Rin.  We will miss Sunday morning Sunday School and church services, but we will be around occasionally!!  Blessings to you all.” ~ Dennis & Rin Bontrager
