Elder Whaid Rose’s sermon on “Celebration of Grace” was a Thanksgiving service message that developed the theme of God’s Grace in our lives and in the Bible. He said things like: “Thanksgiving is the all time holiday”, “Everything that we have, everything that we hope to be is from the Lord”, “Our hardest trials come after great spiritual experiences”, and 
“God uses suffering to perfect His purpose and power in our lives”. A long sermon by our standards, but full of humor and insight.
Elder Rose used the following scriptures: Ps. 100:4-5, 2 Cor. 12, 1-10, 11:22, 16, John 1:1, 14, 16, Ps. 34:1, 1 Cor. 15:57, 2 Cor. 2:14, 2 Cor. 9:15

Whaid Rose,
Wanted to let you know that we enjoyed having you and your dear wife with us last Sabbath.
Your sermon entitled “Celebration of Grace” was very encouraging to all of us. Thank you for reminding us of the special grace that we enjoy here and now, and also, that this grace is awaiting for us in its fullness.
May God bless you and your family. Hope to see you at Conference!
