Trinity, Bay City, Mich., recently opened the doors of its new Amazing Grace Christian book store. The store is led by laypeople and staffed by volunteers from the congregation. “It’s amazing the talent that the Lord put at our disposal at just the right time for this,” says Richard Starr, pastor at Trinity. “It gives us an opportunity to nurture our own members and reach out to others—that’s the main purpose. It’s also a way to get good, biblically-sound Lutheran materials into the hands of more people.”
Happy anniversary! Bethel, Bay City, Mich., celebrated Florence Oblender’s 36 years in the teaching ministry on June 29.
