"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God… The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." (John 1:1; 1:14 NIV)

FROM OUR FAMILY

Greetings to you and your family!

The Lord has truly blessed us this past year. God has been so good to us. He has taught us a great deal about who we are and who He wants us to be. We are born again. We are saved by the grace of God through the precious blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.

After a year of being unchurched and eight months of worshipping as a family at home, the Holy Spirit led us to a homechurch called Family Bible Fellowship (http://home.att.net/~andyrichardson/fbfindex.htm). Steve said that we had the "Family" and the "Bible" but we lacked the "Fellowship". J

God has answered our prayers… we recently found out that Michelle is expecting. She's due on July 14.

Steve's stuff

Steve: child of God, brother in Christ, husband, father, engineer

Steve has been working at the same company for almost 10 years. A little over a year ago, he switched from being a Systems Engineer to a Software Engineer. He is much happier now that he's programming.

Michelle's message

Michelle: child of God, sister in Christ, wife, mother, homemaker

In May, Michelle created a personal website called "The TRUTH Set Me Free to Be" (http://www.erols.com/free-to-be).This Fall season, Michelle and Niko have been taking "Mommy & Me" classes (a weekly gymnastics class, a weekly music class, and a monthly nature class).

Niko's news

Niko: gift from the Lord, son, future big brother

Niko is now 3 years old. He is creative and imaginative in his playing, singing, and in making up bedtime stories. He enjoys working out at "The Little Gym" (doing somersaults, walking on the balance beam, and swinging on the uneven bars). Niko is especially happy that he is going to be a big brother.
