Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, April 11, 2017

Kristie Steiner, Ada elementary art teacher, might have to open a restaurant. Her fourth grade art students recently completed a clay food project that looks good enough to eat. "Student chose what food item they wanted to create, practice making it with modeling clay, and then create it with the real clay. After they were fired, they painted them to look as real as they could. This is a challenging project as they are using multiple clay techniques and some experimentation as well.

Grace Gospel Church breaks ground for addition

New fellowship hall will provide space for children, dinners and outreach
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, April 11, 2017

Grace Gospel Church broke ground Sunday for a 40- by 80-addition.

The new fellowship hall will provide space for children's ministries. The multipurpose area will be large enough to host outreach events and church dinners.

Pastor Trent Boedicker said, "The project of building a larger fellowship hall began as a dream a little more than two years ago, but through prayer, seeking the Lord's wisdom and guidance, it has become more than a dream, but a possibility.

"When Grace Gospel Church was built, in 1939, it was established on the foundation of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and this continues to be true for our ministries today."
