Easter Dinner

This last Sunday we had our annual easter Dinner. We had about 30 students and Chi Alpha alumni attend. And we held our first competitive Easter egg hunt. We had such a good time. If you want to see a film of the event go to my profile on Facebook and check it out.

This weekend we will have our Year End Celebration and honor our graduating seniors. Jean Peteet, our faculty advisor, has offered us her home to have our celebration in and we are very excited to spend time with her and her husband.

I will let you know how it goes. Have a wonderful week!

Suddenly Spring

Spring has finally arrived in New England. It is still cold, but the trees are budding, there are tulips and daffodils everywhere and the cherry and magnolia trees are blooming. I love spring because it means no more snow. This year we got almost 6 feet of snow! I am done with it and can't wait for the warmer weather to come.

Easter is this Sunday and we had a special Tuesday night meeting this week. We spent an extended time in worship sharing about art and how it enhances our perception of reality and God. The students responded well and prepared them for their Easter experience this weekend.

We are still waiting for two of our students to respond to our invitation to leadership. They have to decide by Friday. Pray that they would respond positively. We will be presenting our new student officers at our Year End Celebration.

We had a church in the area here help us with the cost of our Easter Dinner this Sunday. Thank you God! We still have more financial needs though. Check out my prayer requests tab above.

Gene and I will be doing our first pre-engagement counseling with two students this May. This will become a regular part of our ministry to students as they meet potential marriage partners at college. We are looking forward to helping these two students make important decisions about their future relationship together.

My family is finally well. Thank you for your prayers.

April Prayers

I had my core last night and everyone showed up! We spent some  good time praying for each other last night. We only have three more cores left, (classes end on May 5th). We have been studying Colossians this semester and we will be finishing that up the next time we meet. It has been a while since all my ladies were able to come to core and as the year winds down they will be even busier. They will be choosing between their Chi Alpha commitments and studying.

Our annual Easter Dinner is coming up on Easter Sunday, and we are beginning to plan our Year End Celebration dinner. April seems to rush by too fast.

We are planning our year end events by faith, so please pray that God would provide money to pay for these activities in the next two weeks.

My family has been ill these last two weeks. Please pray for us. My kids have a lot of activities this month also and that adds to the already busy schedule we have for this month.

As you can tell, we have many prayer requests. Be sure to check out my prayer requests tab above for more details. Thank you for your support and prayers.
