Grace family, welcome Austin and Nikki Howard to the congregation! The Howards are from Oxford, MS—Austin is a geotechnical engineer and Nikki is in dietitian management at DCH.

Nikki loves sleep, big t-shirts, and travel—possibly in that order! Pay attention if your softball team needs a ringer, because Nikki would have a good chance of winning an Olympic medal in this competitive sport. She wants to read more, but not on a screen. Nikki likes books with paper and a binding. (Amen!)

Austin would also choose to read with some extra time if he had it, but he's also great at playing disc golf or shooting pool. He's the guy you want to know because if someone comes to Austin for help it's likely for his handyman skills. (Note to self!) Austin likes both metal art and video games.

Welcome the Howards to Grace this week! We're happy you're here.
