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.
