Work and Witness Team Returns

 The 2nd team returned back to St. Louis last Sunday morning with wonderful testimonies of project completed and, more importantly, souls added to the Kingdom. Fred Yates, team director, commented that the two teams not only built a church, but built THE Church! The two pictures at left show the members of the 2nd team and the dedication service, at which John Bouldrey preached the dedicatory message.

Rev. Bill Gronemyer Enters Eternal Rest

Rev. Bill Gronemyer passed away yesterday (Thursday) morning, November 11th. His pastor, Bryan Davis, wrote of him, “Brother Gronemyer has been an important person at New Life. He was in my church at Bridgeton. When we planted, I was surprised he came along. But he didn't come for the music or the Krispy Kremes or because I was such a dynamic speaker. He joined and supported New Life because he loved to see changed lives. And New Life has been all the richer because he has been a part of it. There is a great celebration going on in heaven as one of God's most humble and Christ-like servants enters in. We will miss Brother Gronemyer.” His funeral will be at 2 pm this Monday at Baue Funeral Home located at 3950 West Clay Street in St. Charles. Visitation is Monday from noon until the beginning of the funeral. Internment will follow at St. Charles Memorial Gardens located behind Baue. The family has requested any memorials in Brother Gronemyer's name should be made to New Life.
