Karisa Lives!

News from Karisa has arrived (voice analysis confirms it was her on the phone although there has been no visual or DNA confirmation of her existence). She has been accepted as an intern for a six-month ministry in India beginning in early June. [For those who have read this post previously, you will notice the last sentence reflecting parental pride has been removed at the request of the object of the pride.]

Welcome Guests

Last Friday evening we followed through with a plan we have talked about for years; we had new comers at New Covenant over for a meal. Actually we have often had new families over for meals but as the church has grown it became difficult to keep up with everyone so we talked about having a larger, less frequent gathering .

Otherwise life has been busy. In March (since the last post), Jackie chaired an accreditation visit at the Lincoln Christian Seminary in Illinois and we both went to the Society for Pentecostal Studies meeting in California.

Jackie planted his garden yesterday and this morning (the signs were right according to the Farmers Almanac).
