Fall Happenings

It feels like September kind of made a sneak attack this year.  Yes, I know that it comes at the same place on the calendar annually, but the fact that we started off the month with 90+ degree temps...well it just didn't exactly shout fall to me!  But it is HERE and the crisp air today along with it's beautiful breeze is really speaking to me.  It's put my brain in a place of such excitement for the stuff we have starting this month that I had to share it will all of you!  In addition to the Seminary Wives group, I'm also going to be facilitating (because I like that word much, much better than leading!) a women's study that will be for all the women in the seminary community at WTS as well as female students at Hope College.  Here's the skinny on the study:



Come check it out-it's going to be fun and super laid back because let's be honest here, I don't really do much that *isn't* super laid back :) Send an email to thestepsurbanmissions at gmail dot com to sign up or if you have questions about it.

Sem Wives kicks off next Monday night, September 12 8:30pm, at our place.  I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone from last year and meeting new faces as well!  I'm asking you to pray with me that hearts are moved to share in honesty and refuge as they navigate the journey of adding 'seminary wife' to the many faces we already wear as women!  It's a unique path to say the least!  I'm praying also that these women feel comfortable and confident in coming into our home and that our gatherings can truly be a place of peace and restoration at the end of a busy day.

Jason has started his time in Campus Ministry at Hope and the energy is fantastic!  I'm looking forward to seeing all that unfolds through there over the course of the year as well as being able to attend some chapel services with our kids so they can feel what is at work there as well.

grace!
