Vicksburg non-profit Grace Christian Counseling Center celebrated its 25th anniversary Thursday night with a progressive dinner at its three founding churches.

The three-course event began with appetizers at First Presbyterian Church, a main course at Crawford Street United Methodist Church and dessert at the Church of the Holy Trinity. It also included a silent auction with more than $10,000 of unique finds, gift certificates and local artwork.

Items included 50-yard line tickets to the LSU-Auburn game, an original H.C. Porter painting with museum-quality framing, a signed Warren Morris LSU jersey, a Steve Gleason jersey and gift certificates to local businesses.

“From staying informed with local governmental issues to hearing the stories of its people, a hometown newspaper is vital to a community. I have felt privileged to be part of a dedicated team at The Post throughout my tenure and hope that with theirs and with local support, I will be able to continue to grow and hone in on my skills as I help share the stories in Vicksburg. When asked what I like most about my job, my answer is always ‘the people.’
