Closing

Dawn is officially the owner of a home. Sometimes I wonder how I became the runt of the family. I seem to be a step behind, instead of moving out of our apartment into a house we moved in with granny. Instead of getting a job closer to home I took one 86 mile away. Am I crazy? Who knows all we can do is pray we are following God’s leading.

June Update

June has been pretty exciting in Oxford. We began our Sunday morning services (Sundays at 11am) and have had various families from Oxford attend. Please pray that God will continue to open doors to the community, allowing us to serve and share God's Love.

We just finished our first week of clubhouse and have already started week 2. Week 1 we averaged 35 kids each day, it was a great week. The kids went fishing with the Oxford Police and then visited the Zoo. Please continue to keep all the volunteers in your prayers as they look toward the next few weeks. Weeks 2 and 3 are understaffed, pray for God's provision during these weeks. Please pray for the children that their hearts will be opened to God's Love and that the stories they hear will become real and put a desire in them to know Christ.

Also end of July/ early August we will be sending a mission team out, the plans are still being put together, please be in prayer for the preparation of the trip as well as the hearts of the team that will be going. Please continue to be in prayer for the students that are on mission this summer, rather it be in Oxford, another state or another country. We have a number of students that have been obedient to His call. We pray that they have safe travels to and from, and that every encounter will be a testimony to the Gospel. Pray that they will stay focused and that God will change their lives in radical ways that will not be just for a summer but for a lifetime. Thank you for your prayers and support, you are a blessing!

Steve Retires

So it has been a pretty crazy week with Steve retiring. Steve is 3 bosses above me, he is basically the second in command on our floor. He is pretty easy to work with and pretty well like. So his retirement was kinda big deal so we went all out. The theme was Steve Goes to Training. We had certificates and a story book. It was lots of fun.

Clubhouse week 3 Movies and Horseback Riding

This week was about traveling. They took the kids Horseback riding, where they toured the stables and learned how to ride. Then on Friday it was off to the movies, they all got to go see Cars 2. The kids were pretty pumped.

Olive Garden, JoAnn’s, the Storm and Cleaning out the Basement

Dinner with Dawn and Swapna YUM! We had a quick chat and dinner at our favorite spot. Then Dawn and I headed to JoAnn’s with mom. We just needed to pick up thread and a few other things, and since we had a coupon we decided to go. We while at the store the lights flash a few times and the storm hit. We were trapped for a while since it was “raining cats and dogs” finally we braved or ran franticly to the car so we could head home. Once home Dawn and I headed to the basement to sort boxes since she had been looking at houses and was working on moving out.
