floods in Winona

We were shocked this week to hear from some friends in Winona, MN about the extreme flooding in the area.  The photo’s were severe!!  Many people have lost their homes, values and those many things that have such great sentimental value.  Please pray for all those living in that area!

As the summer comes to an end

It seems like not that long since summer began but, it is all coming to a quick end.  We are hoping to spend time in the next couple of weeks getting a family newsletter out (if you don’t normally recieve this and would like to please just send us your info to add you).

We are also planning to take some time for evaluations, reports and such things of the recent work groups and outreach’s…..  we wish we had done it before now but time simply didn’t permit.  If you are interested in more details info of what the summer consisted of please contact Eileen directly.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity,

but a spirit of power, love & self-discipline.

2 Timothy 1:7

Minehead, Sumerset

Last week we had a great weeks holiday in Minehead. It was great having a family time away and being able to do so many fun things with the kids.  The place we were staying had a great swimming pool w/water slides, a fun fair, Bob the builders playgroup and much more…….  It was a place built specifically for young children so as you can imagine having 3 young children, they loved it!!

 Thank you to Stockwell Baptist for this wonderful gift!!

New Wine

The day after the kids finished school we packed up the car and all required camping equipment and headed for Shepton Mallet in Sumerset. 

New Wine is a Christian conference held over a few weeks each summer.  This year there were 12,000 who attended…. what an amazing number!!  We had a great time and felt blessed to be part of the whole event. The kids really enjoyed the the childrens program.   Eileen enjoyed working withe the venue one host team and Aaron had the opportunity to spend some time on the OM Stand.

Overall the weeks was great… the kids all managed to catch a chest infection but, Eden was the only one who had her week effected by it.
