Internship/Seminary

Jacob’s internship this month consisted of designing and implementing Providence PCA’s new church calendar and newsletter. The calendar was made for August through December, while the newsletter will be monthly. Jacob preached once this past month at the mission and got some great constructive feedback.  He is hoping to preach more frequently and is currently writing sermons from Genesis and 1 John.

One class down 3 years left! Jacob has completed his first seminary class (Christian Ethics) in which he received a B. If you are interested in reading his final paper on Masonry and Christian Ethics send us an email and we will get you a copy. We are so thrilled to have this first class completed. Currently Jacob is taking two classes at Covenant through the distance learning program; Ancient and Medieval Church History and Calvin’s Institutes.   

Family Fun

This month we went on a short but fun trip to Mackinaw, MI with family. Due to Jacob’s work schedule we were only able to go for one night, but we had an AMAZING night. We arrived shortly before dinner, and had great conversation. Later that night we ventured to the park to watch the sunset. The rest of the time there was spent playing games and talking.

Another fun event was attending the Civil War Reenactment in Jackson. We went with family and friends and had a wonderful time! Jacob has been going for many years but this was Amy’s first time and didn’t quite know what to expect. It was a great history lesson and provided for a most enjoyable afternoon.

Family Ministry

     This month we have been ministering to our immediate family and circle of friends. Jacob hosted a game night with some men from church, which consisted of Battle for Middle Earth, and Lord of the Rings risk (can anyone guess a theme?). Snacks, caffeine, and good fellowship, what better way to spend an evening?
