These flowers are given to the Glory of God by Jeannie and Brandan DeLacy in honor of Family members and Friends who served our Country-and are serving in the Military now!
Rev. Steve Wingret
Rev. Wingret has served in the Free Methodist Denomination for 40 years. His ministry has had several different chapters over the years, from youth and music ministry to pastoring a small rural church. Then, in 2001, he began serving the church where he grew up in, Olney, Il. Over the past several years, God has developed a relationship between the Olney church and a local sober living facility which has been a blessing to the church and the facility.
He met his wife, Liesl in 1985 when he was a youth/music pastor at her home church in Bloomington, IN. Liesl works for the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine – Center for Rural Health and Social Services. Her passion is raising awareness of and assisting communities with issues such as addiction/recovery, drug endangered children, peer recovery, human trafficking.
