A December Update

It has been a wonderful semester full of learning and growing, and I'm so excited to share with you my December newsletter!

I also want to update you on my financial situation. I still need $1,315 to finish out my budget for this school year. I am so thankful for how much the Lord has provided for Logan and I already this year! I am so thankful to each of you who have faithfully supported and prayed for us this semester.

Please consider making a tax-deductible year-end gift to help me make it through the spring semester. You can give by going to www.ruf.org/donate

Thank you so much!

A Semester in Pictures

This is a slide show that our Campus Minister, Chris, made for our Christmas party that covers many of different ways RUF helps students get involved and create fellowship over the semester.

I hope you enjoy all the smiling faces!

Thank you to all of you who have made it possible for Logan and I to minister to students here at Maryland. We have been so blessed to be given this opportunity, and have seen God at work in so many ways this semester. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to sharing more with you over the next year!

Grace and Peace,

 

RUF Christmas Party

Merry Christmas!

Our students are getting ready for the last day of classes tomorrow, followed by 5 days of finals. No fun, but they had enough fun on Saturday night to hold them over until our end of classes events!

We got together to celebrate Christmas and the semester together at Wallace Presbyterian Church this weekend. Our students got together to bake peppermint sugar cookies, fudge, and all kinds of goodies and we all had a good time eating them, acting out the twelve days of Christmas, and doing out "White Elephant" gift exchange!

Here are some of the lovely gifts that people got:

It was a lot of fun and silliness:

 

One of our sweet Chinese Grad students gave Logan and I an Anniversary gift! We have loved getting to know each of our students this semester, and it has been a special priviledge to get to know our Chinese friends.

Merry Christmas,

Logan's First Sermon!

I am so thankful for all the ways that God is continually at work in the lives of His people. I feel privileged to be a part of this church, His people. I am thankful for the ways God has enabled me to serve in his body, and so amazing that I get to do that full time!

Logan and I have had the challenge and privilege to work with students, learn through a monthly study program, and get hands on experience in ministry. We get to try on the hats of pastor, counselor, etc as training for what we will do vocationally for the rest our lives.

Tonight was a particularly exciting night! Logan got the opportunity to preach for the first time! He spoke on Ephesians 5, tying in Romans 7 to talk about what it means for Jesus to be our husband and for us to be married to Christ. I have never been more glowing with pride and exciting about what the future will hold for us. It was such a privileged to sit under the teaching of my husband and be blessed as I heard the gospel in fresh new ways.

Here are a few pictures of the night:

So proud of my preachin' man!

As you can tell, I'm quite proud of him!


Grace & Peace,
