A busy Sunday morning at Oxford Circle: Baptism, Baby dedication, lots of visitors.

The annual Weaver cabin trip to central PA.

Making a mountain of pancakes.
Shuffleboard tournament.
Fictionary (create your own definitions and try to fool other players). One person copied the definition of "quahog" from the dictionary as "a clam that is round like a hog and it tastes really good." Needless to say, no one picked the right definition that time around and we had to specify new rules about bending/supplementing the dictionary definitions.

Hiking- Andrew prepares for a dive into the puddle below.

The Fossil Toss. Winner: Everyone (we're all winners if we try).

On Sunday afternoon, June 15, I was licensed at Oxford Circle Mennonite Church to serve the congregation this fall as interim associate pastor along with pastor Lynn Parks while senior pastor Leonard Dow is on sabbatical.
Bishop Freeman Miller credentialing.

Words of response.

After the service: Ron Sider, Leonard Dow, J. Carl Sensenig, Freeman Miller.

Christy's commissioning/graduation from Eastern University's School of Leadership and Development. She earned an M.A. in international development (minus the internship, which she'll do in the spring).

A trip downtown put Christy on the map.

On Saturday we surprised Christy with a 24th birthday party.

Paul and Gised (caught in mid-smile, not an unusual expression for her).

Dinner with Tiffany and Curtis, Corey and Mary

Palmer Seminary friend and hallmate Bob Orombi married Marisa Franklin in Cincinnati.


Guillermo, Mandie, Herbert

My nephew Aaron turned one year old on May 22.

He's walking and trying to say a few words like "mommy," "apple," and "hermeneutics."

Preparations for the wedding are coming along. Christy and I went to a greenhouse and planted some flowers in my parents' garden. We hope to use whatever comes up as decorations.

Graduation
On May 17 I graduated with my M.Div. from Palmer Seminary. The ceremony was held at Enon Tabernacle Baptist.

I'm grateful for my family and friends who came to show their support.
