Ned Erickson: UPDATE Week of May 3

The Fellows got their hands dirty as we prepared to plant the seeds for next year's Fellows.

Whew. What a week! Heads up - lots of photos coming your way!

Hi. I'm Keith

On Monday evening, we had the chance to hear Keith Vest's story. WOW!

I need to figure out a way for everyone to hear this. Keith - you are an amazing guy. I am inspired by you!

His story has some major ups and downs - but God showed up every step of the way.

What an incredible evening. I think that's the Holy Spirit waving his hand in the background behind Keith's head.

Peter and Cyndy are great hosts. What a precious time. I wish everyone could have been a part of the worship. WOW!

Lynn Leads Us for Leader Lunch

Bailey's mentor was our speaker this week.

Lynn, the ageless one, captivated us with her story. Thank you!

Lynn, you have been a boss, a partner, a mother, a mentor, a friend, a sister, a co-conspirator for Jesus, a pastor, a teacher, a role model...the list goes on. I love you.

Kickball at Waughtown

It was a beautiful afternoon at the ball field

Pablo caught a chicken.

Craft Half-Marathon

On Saturday we redeemed a disappointment by running the Craft Half-Marathon that was postponed because of the pandemic. Emily and Caroline had trained for it but were not going to be able to run it on the new date. So they decided to run in on Saturday.

I had the privilege of being their pacer.

They killed it. I'm so proud of them. Michelle and David Filston ran with us at different times. Rossi, Tori, Shannon, Bailey and AJ also provided support. Hef and her kids were there at the end.

It was an incredible accomplishment - worthy of celebration! Their last three miles were their fastest by the way! I think they have a marathon in their future.

Hi. I'm Nigel

Speaking of holding court. No one does it better than Nigel.

Caroline Wolfe stands tall as she shares her story with the group.

Church Love

Rossi stands with one of her high school friends.

Meghan took this snap of high school youth group

C-Fil missed out on the lottery for church so she went to River Oaks with Rossi and Tori. She was rewarded with brunch at River Birch.

Farm Life

It is the season to get dirty.

The worms on the farm are ginormous

I had to dig deep.

We got two rows done. There are about three more to go.

Unpictured But Happiest Moment of the Week

On Friday afternoon, we had the chance to meet the foster kids and the cottage parents. We played an icebreaker and began to establish relationships with the kids.

They were so excited to meet us. I cannot wait to see how God is going to use this new partnership.

I wish I could take pictures....

Happy Happy Birthday Hayes
