It was also a good time to celebrate Ryan&#8217;s 10th year with us (which actually happened back in August).\u00c2\u00a0We&#8217;ve been tracking his sermon total for a few years now and\u00c2\u00a0Sunday\u00c2\u00a0provided a nice moment for us to reflect on God&#8217;s grace in the life of our church in the gift of a preacher and in the fruit born from his Word.<\/p>\n<p>After Ryan preached, he prayed and then asked the congregation to stand before the last song. As he walked off stage, Drew asked everyone to sit and introduced the video. After the video,\u00c2\u00a0Ron shared for a few minutes from Ryan&#8217;s life and ministry and invited Ryan and Sarah up to receive two gifts. First, a signed used NHL playoff hockey stick from former Red Wings player, Steve Yzerman. This is a rare find from one of Ryan&#8217;s favorite players from Ryan&#8217;s favorite team from Ryan&#8217;s favorite sport. This gift was given from a number of Ryan&#8217;s friends, a few from the church and several from around the country. Then,\u00c2\u00a0our church family (though you didn&#8217;t know this at the time!) gifted Ryan and Sarah with\u00c2\u00a0a trip to watch the Red Wings play in a city of their choice sometime in the next year.<\/p>\n<p>If you weren&#8217;t able to be with us and wish you knew ahead of time, we sure wish we could have let you know! But then Ryan would have almost certainly found out. And as it is, he was clueless and befuddled, and after that, choked up and crying right in front of us. It was perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few photos from the end of the service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ryan Preaching #500<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a
