Three Prayer Requests

As the new school year is about to begin, we would request your prayers in three specific areas:

1. Please pray for our church that it would grow spiritually as well as numerically. Pray for Mitch, particularly, as he pastors.
2. Please pray for Jane as she teaches a combination class of 1st and 2nd grades. Pray for wisdom to know how to teach two grades together successfully and for the 13 children in her class and their families.
3. Please pray for Nicole. We have decided to homeschool her and we all seek your prayers in this undertaking. Mitch and Jane will share the role as Nicole's teacher throughout each week. Pray for us as we do so and pray that Nicole will not only grow academically but spritually, as well.

To God be the glory for what He has done, what He is doing, and what He will do. Thank you for your prayers. We love you!

4-H Fair

Nicole ended her 4-H season by entering several exhibits in our county's 4-H fair. She entered a zucchini she had grown with knowledge from the 4-H gardening club and three pencil drawings created during the drawing club. Mom & Dad are quite proud of Nicole! She's already planning what to draw and grow for next year's fair!
