Last week, an event organized and hosted by students of Grace College’s Grace Opportunities for Adult Learners program  raised money for a local family. The students, along with their professor, Matt Metzger, wanted to live out the Bible verse “Love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.”

This unique culinary event was held at Gordon Recreational Center. It benefited Derek and Leanne Lavender. Their story is on their blog here.
