September 2021

Here's a photo journal of our September!

My coworker Katie brought me a chai as we started out our early Saturday at CFA!

My dear friend Joanna came to visit us for a couple days over Labor Day!

It was so good to see her and spend time with her! We've been friends since 2005, when our oldest siblings started dating.

She was with us for Sunday as well.

I frequently "have to" stop by Chick-fil-A to see my coworkers. ;P Especially when it is birthday time!

This day it was Janeane's bday

Enjoying the beautiful day on campus with Clarissa

Some days we accidently match! It's so fun twinning with friends.

September 10th was the wedding of Joshua Stamper and Sarah Dickinson!

It was a beautiful, God-honoring wedding and reception!

The Harms came to Chick-fil-A one Saturday afternoon! It is always good to see people I know!

Choir buddies!

Before chapel service one day

I snuck a picture one day of my view from choir.

Janaye and I are SWSE buddies.

Time spent with the Harms is always special.

Sweet Katherine

A Fall Revival service

A meeting in the park with some of my coworkers one afternoon.

We have had beautiful, WARM fall weather throughout September. It has not gotten very chilly at all, so the leaves are late in turning colors. Here are there, there are some colors.

I got to babysit Daniel one evening. :)

We were so saddened when Steve Stetler passed away. We grieve with his family and friends. He will be so missed, but we don't grieve as those with no hope, because our hope is in Jesus and we know that Steve is in heaven because of Jesus.

Coffee date with my friend Brittany!

My classroom at Cincy State... it is a mix of in person and on zoom.

Evan's birthday at CFA.

The Saturday that it was my last day to work with Evan and Doug before their graduation.
They will be missed!

Happy Saturday!

A beautiful Saturday sunrise.

Jeffrey and Lesa came to see us for a week in September. It was so good to spend time with them.
Playing Probe outside to enjoy the beautiful day.

Lesa's sister Emily came for a few days too! They finally taught Mother how to play Settlers. :)

Supper time

This is one of our favorite games.

Sunday - Elizabeth got to join us too! What a sweet time!

Emily took this picture for us.

Our friend got to come over from GBS for part of Sunday too.

Sunday morning in Jr. Church

Jeffrey and I taught Lesa and Emily this 3D battleship type game.

Celebrating Elizabeth's birthday!

We love Elizabeth so much! We treasure any time we get to spend with her as she lives 2.5 hrs. away now.

A coffee stop with them before they hit the road to head back home. <3

Our Evangelism class got to go with Open Air Campaigners to UC for sharing the gospel.

We also helped with a children's service one evening in Cincinnati.

We had Revival at our church with Bro. Curtis Going  Sept. 28-Oct. 3. It was really good.

Psalm 113:2-4
Blessed be the name of the Lord
From this time forth and forever.
 From the rising of the sun to its setting
The name of the Lord is to be praised.
 The Lord is high above all nations;
His glory is above the heavens.
