"All Things New" Banquet Fundraiser makes Lively Debut! Esther's Place held its first fundraising banquet on Sunday Evening, November 6, 2022. The Newark "Lookup Center" graciously lent us their facility for the venue and the banquet was held in the Center's gymnasium. The evening featured news and highlights from Esther's Place of Grace in the first fifteen months of operation. Benchmarks in the lives of former and current residents were highlighted and celebrated. God's provision in the Summer 2022 of a new home to operate out of was a highlight of the banquet. We were blessed by the outpouring of helping hands and giving hearts - the community momentum was evident. Serving the meal was handled by the students of Granville Christian Academy's Honor Society. The staff, board and volunteers of Esther's Place worked overtime to make this event a success. Special mention goes to the DeLong family for their dedication and sponsorship of the event. Ashley, Tommy & daughter, Julia, Gogolin beautifully decorated the banquet tables and helped with kitchen duty. Many folks from Cornerstone Church, Impact City of Pataskala, Living Hope Church of Pataskala, and Jacksontown Grace Brethren Church as well as a crew from Pittsburgh, PA, came out to celebrate with us. We had speakers from New Song Community Church of Reynoldsburg as well. Esther's Place of Grace realized $16,812 and added 7 new monthly supporters to our Partners in Grace program. Thank you, thank you to everyone who made this evening beautiful and memorable. |
