quarter ministry

so in the past few weeks, since we have a perminant bulletin, i have not had so much too post. well things have changes ...


this photo is my favorite from easter sunday service. beka short has some of the cutest shoes.


the rest of these are from out community love "event". after/ apart of lot family, we went out to the community to laundry shops and aldi's buying wash loads for people or getting them carts. these are just some from the day.





jessa's new glasses she loves them... i think the shoes on the side are her favorite part.





i see a trend that every moth i have a certain subjet that i like to shoot best, a few months ago it was table and chairs, now i seem to be hooked on feet, well more like shoes.
that is all... peace!!!!

visions of st. chuck

a first of many from my latest excursion into st. charles for some photos. though i enjoy many of the photos i took, they feel redundant and are probably not going to be helpful w/ what i needed them for.

dave hates valentines day

so here are a few pics from valentines day. our friend danielle was house sitting and got permission to have a few of us over for the "dave hates valentines day party". one might think that this party was full of bitter single folk, but alas they would be wrong. the party was hosted by a "non-single" gal. It was lots of fun, though admittedly it holds nothing to s.a.d., and I missed hanging out with the girls excessively. I might suggest that we all go back to the park next year.

this is a pic of candice, aaron, and danielle. they look pretty stinkin' cute don't they.


this is hilarious!! look at his face. matt is such a schemer. he saw that i wasn't actually paying attention while i was taking pictures, so he smiled when i looked at him and did this for the camera when I looked down!


we spent a majority of the night playing wii. kari and brandon, like myself were out by this point. actually I take that back, brandon and matt won over all, so brandon must have just been resting.

the unfaithful blogger

so... i have been very unfaithful about logging on and shareing the work that I have been doing. Below are the last few projects I have done for the church. tell me what you think.




this is the cover for our church directory. last year it was a red telephone, this year...

we have been going through luke. this was during the passage where Christ talks about the narrow door. many will try...few will enter.



this is the great banquet area of luke. Christ was talking about who will come into the great banquet.


again another luke/ Christ/ banquet passage. That we should not invite our family and friends to events, but should be loving the un-loved.


we have recently desided to no onger do weekly bulletins, because they are quite pricey. The one above and the following are the options for the next 6 months.
the above is a glimpse of " the dask of luke"


generic matthias bulletin possibility.......


maybe my favorite even though there is no color. I thought about adding some in, but then it might mess w/ the flow.

so what do you think?

Baptism service

so here is the newest one. I like it a lot. we are having our baptism service and we are in luke 13:10 talking about the kingdom of God. from seed to tree...

(notice the water rings on the top, I mean come on it is a baptism service)

if it is at all possible try to zoom in, the detail is the best part.

matthias internship

So I am going to start putting up my bulletin's for the church as well as some other things that I am working on.


This is the latest one I did. I think it is kind of cool, but I won't see it "completed until tomorrow"
If you did not know, that is Jesa.

This is the post card for out baptism service on the 6th. cool right?
This was the bulletin from 2 weeks ago. Marc was preaching on "gray" Christians, those who try to straddle the line which has been drawn in the sand.

Twin Oaks Coffee

So a few days after Jess got back from England, we went to a "coffee house" at Twin Oaks Presbyterian. These are just some of my faves, like usual.
This reminds me of still lifes that I used to paint.

Jess enjoying being in America. Doesn't she look joyful?

So one day on facebook, this random kid Aaron, asked to be my friend. So after reading that we had several friends in common, I accepted. Now move to coffee house night, the first person I talk to is this kid Aaron, then it clicked, he is a Matthias kid.

I love this pic. There is tons of movement that contrasts with this stillness.

Brandon, trying to pull off Aaron's "cool".

Yep, just another neat shot.

Ok this is my favorite. I love the bracelets, but look at the detail on the jeans and in the sweater knit. It is fabulous!!
