Follow Jesus. Lead the church. Change the world.
The internet went down here sometime yesterday, so we’re posting our favorite photo from day 3 (our second full day here) a little late. Unfortunately, we didn’t take the camera on the hike in the morning due to the heavy fog / light drizzle. I carried Sarah on my back for the 2-mile hike and … Read more
Yesterday, we went to Carlisle for a 3:00 p.m. hearing where Sarah’s adoption was finalized at the Cumberland County Courthouse. With Carlisle nearly three hours away, it was an all-day event! Yesterday’s finalization was the final step in the legal process. It not only marks the end of Sarah’s adoption process, it also marks the … Read more

Ethan is three years old today. We celebrated his birthday on Sunday with his babysitters and Sunday morning caregivers at our place. Ethan enjoyed spending time with everyone, and he certainly enjoyed all the attention!

This coming Saturday will be the first Annual Conference of the new Susquehanna Conference (with a special session to be held later in September). Ethan was with … Read more
This afternoon, we traveled to Messiah College where the Central Pennsylvania Conference is meeting for its 222nd and final annual conference! We will meet again next Saturday (6/12) to unite with the Pennsylvania churches from the Wyoming Conference (northeastern PA) to form the Susquehanna Conference. Exciting times. This is Sarah’s first time here. It’s amazing … Read more
