Going MY Way


Denise attended church faithfully and expected her girls to go as well. But one of them balked. "Mom no one in our high school class goes to church."
It was the catalyst Denise needed. She knew her family needed a change The “darkness” in their city was real. So, on faith, she packed up her two children and moved to San Antonio. They visited a mega-church near where they lived, but just didn’t feel plugged in. It was a bit overwhelming. Still, Denise was determined her daughters would have a Christian influence in their lives.

The last Sunday in September, Denise pulled protesting kids into the car and headed toward church. She prayed as she drove. “Lord, show me how to get my daughters connected. Show me where we belong.” Stopping for a red light, she saw an A-framed sign on the corner. Grace Community Church. She pointed it out to her girls. “Want to try that church?” Both agreed.

Denise made the turn and arrived at a KC Hall where the church group was meeting: for their very first service! They visited, and now over six months later, Denise’s girls enthusiastically attend worship services.

Seems like God sent them a real sign!
