Thanks From Chicago!

Cindy and I are so blessed to be part of The Grove Family!

We have struggled with ways to thank you all for your kindness in the check given to us at Christmas. We wanted you to know that it provided us with the means to attend this awesome Bible conference at Moody. We went to Detroit Friday evening to pick up Cindy's sister (the one who had cared for Cindy's ailing mom) and then rode the train into Chicago where Amy and Jason picked us up.

The Founders Week conference worked out a deal with Hotel Indigo for special rates and your check covered our stay! It's beyond our imagination, quite nice. We thought we'd send you a picture which really doesn't do it justice. Wish you could all be here with us to hear the many dynamic preachers and musicians.

We will miss not worshipping with you tomorrow, I guess we'll have to settle for Bill Hybels at the downtown Chicago annex to Willow Creek. Let me brief tonight and leave you with this from both of us from Ephesians 1:16-17:

"
I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better."

In His Grip (and in a giant deck chair)

Jeff and Cindy
