2009 Valentine Reception and Dance
Thanks to Heather W. Harris for taking and submitting the photos!
Grace Youth sponsored a Valentine Reception and Dance on Sunday, February 22, 2009, as part of our 150th Anniversary Celebration. A Renewal of Vows service was also held during the morning worship service as we celebrated all couples married at Grace during the congregation's history. Special Guests for the day were the Rev. George and Mrs. Elizabeth Moore. The following twenty-six couples offered for the title of "Frog Level King and Queen" for each decade from the 1940s to the 2000s. Winners were chosen by the amount of donations made to the Youth in their honor and are listed first in each group in bold type.
