Fall

September and October have been beautiful and crazy months.  Fall is a favorite season around here and we have loved every bright tree, hot mug of apple cider and pumpkin treat in sight.


Our family having a fun day at a pumpkin patch!!


Some updates of things going on:

- Dante and Bub got baptized several weeks ago!!  There is video, but I won't be able to post it right now.  Instead I will share these with you.




-My (Emily) Sunday School class has started a new study on the book of Romans!  We added a few women to the class and it is exciting to start such a deep book.

-The Food Cupboard that Jonerik and I help organize at CCC is bursting at the seams!  We love distributing the food from the local food bank and because of the rapidly growing numbers we have had to re-evaluate how to best serve our neighborhood.  Some changes have been made to focus our audience and those receiving food.  We are still distributing food every week (except the first Thurs.) to hungry families around us and cultivating relationship with those who come.

-The kids are receiving a steady diet of scripture and godly songs at school and we are all benefitting from that.  Watching them remember a verse to apply to a routine situation is an amazing blessing because that is what the Word of God is for!!

Hurricane Update:
Sandy's path was headed straight for Philly but the effects of the hurricane impacted other areas stronger than us.  We had heavy winds, rain and some thunder/lightning but our power is still on and we didn't have damage of any kind.  We praise God for his protection and pray for others who are wading through difficult aftermath.
