The Paine Family

With the smell of spring in the air and the rising temperatures, the Paine family is looking forward to another season of warmer weather and summer fun.

We apologize for the great pause in our posting, but as you can imagine, we have been keeping busy =)

Much has taken place since our trip to Oklahoma. The time was very refreshing and needful for our family. Back in Chicago with a busy schedule keeps us preoccupied with things such as school, music lessons, working in the publications department, and simply being a family.It has been wonderful.

This past week, Tabitha headed up to the Northwoods of Michigan to serve on the first Journey to the Heart of the year. Over 40 young ladies went up on this week-long trip. Please keep her in your prayers.

Chad has been serving up there at the Northwoods for about a week now and is working on school while assisting with grounds maintenance, hosting the Journey teams, and just being Chad. =) Lord willing, he will be serving up there till sometime in June.

The rest of the team is here serving in Chicago at the Headquarters. Thomas and Nate are both heavily involved with the publications department. Thomas is helping the team gear up for the regional conferences for this year and is keeping very busy. The rest of the family is keeping busy with school, music lessons, and serving in various capacities. God has truly blessed us and we look forward to what the warmer seasons will hold. =)
