Many of you have heard Rachelle’s happy voice answering the church telephone.  Since Easter 2004, Rachelle has of been answering the church phone as the church’s office assistant.  

As Office Assistant, Rachelle does much more than just answer the phones.  She is responsible for the production of the church worship folders and PowerPoint, official church correspondence, maintaining the church database, financial records, other records and much more. 

You know and love Rachelle as the behind the scenes and supportive wife of Pastor Augie and the mother of their four children, ages 13-6.  In addition to all of Rachelle’s family experience, however, she brings to the job quite a lot of technical and administrative skills.  Before the Iadicicco’s moved to the seminary in 1997, Rachelle ran a travel agency out of their home.  Rachelle is good with computers and current software, and she also has a B.S. in natural science and an MBA in public accounting. 

Rachelle says that what she enjoys the most about being the Office Assistant is being able to join her husband in the day to day operations of the wonderful ministry of Saving Grace.  So if you need ministry information or even if you just want to say “hi,” call 988-5379 and talk to Rachelle.  May God continue to bless her in this very important function of our ministry.

Brent Schian   Deacon of Outreach and Worship

Brent is the 3^rd and youngest son of Leo and Marilyn Schian who owned a family farm in Brown City Michigan.  Upon Completion of High school he decided to try airplanes rather than cows or crops so he joined the Air Force where he served 4 years stationed at Wurtsmith AFB in MI, Comiso Sicily, and Holloman AFB New Mexico.

Brent decided to go to college upon being discharged from the AF.  However bartending was a lot more fun and paid better than school,l so college barely lasted 2 years. 

Brent bartended at Fairlanes Papago in Scottsdale, and Papillion’s Too in Mesa, when he decided to start a business recovering pool tables, with his dad, called Buckhorn Billiards in 1989.  About the same time he met his wife Darcey and they were married in 1994. (Darcey has a passion for all animals (except snakes) and works at Gilbert Vet hospital.)

Buckhorn has been blessed by God and grown to 4 retail locations in the Phoenix Metro area, a service department that operates out of a warehouse in Chandler and a factory in Casa Grande called Buckhorn Manufacturing.  Brent’s favorite off time activities are hunting, sports of all kinds, and messing around with horses.

Brent and Darcey are one of the initial families of Saving Grace.  Brent started in the Lay Leadership Program in 2001 upon advice of his Pastor, Augie, and can’t find enough accolades for the program that has led to his becoming a deacon in the Lutheran Church.

His heart and focus will be on outreach to the unchurched of the East Valley at Saving Grace.  He believes very strongly that the congregation is not the mission; it is established by God to accomplish the mission, which is the Great Commission.
