A Busy Summer/Fall
It's been busy around here. We've been helping out at our new church: Beacon of Hope Church, St. Paul. It's a church plant founded in part through Bethlehem Baptist's (our former church) help and cooperation.
We've been involved in the leadership of the church. I've been regularly singing on the worship team, leading a men's Bible study, and attending launch team meetings. Carolyn's been helping coordinate the nursery and preschool ministries.
You can check out our church online: beaconofhopesp.org. Keep us in prayer, we'd appreciate that.
Latest Funny phrase
Carolyn pulled a ham out of the oven Saturday night, and Emily said "Daddy! There's a big turkey that came out of a pig!"
October Birthdays
Carolyn just celebrated her birthday on the 13th. Rachel turned one on the 21st. We hope you like our new family photo site!
