Katherine Baylis makes her debut in this month’s Connections with her story, “Crash Landing in a Corn Field.” When Katherine volunteered to write for us, we didn’t hesitate for a minute. As a twenty-something who is involved in the life of College Church, we look forward to reading more of Katherine’s writing in issues to come.

Pat Cirrincione graces the pages of Connections once again with her trademark humor and common sense in “The Bucket List.” Pat might be the only person we know whose bucket list consisted of ballet, tap and jazz classes, flute/piano/voice lessons and finding God.

Jennifer Wheatley is more comfortable behind a music stand than anywhere else, but we were happy to oblige when she wanted to write about her years of ministry at College Church and the next steps God has for her and her husband, Greg.

John Melby, a regular contributor to Connections, discovered two words at Men’s Bible Study this spring that changed the way he approached his study of God’s Word. Read his reflections of the study in “Compelling Biblical Truths.”

Josh and Caitlin Maurer not only are involved in helping us worship corporately through their music, but also are committed to helping their own children worship each Sunday. Read their thoughtful piece in this month’s Connections, “Family Worship.”

Stann Leff, is the executive director of God Centered Life Ministries, a faithful member of College Church and proud father of Cheryce Berg, our own director of children's ministries.

Kat Haase, a member of the Evangelism and Culture Impact Committee, call the church to reemerge as a champion for families in her article, “Resurrecting Biblical Hospitality.” Kat’s heart for vulnerable children and families comes through in her conversation with College Church members and missionaries Rob and Laurie Nordstrom about Safe Families.

Whenever Marr Miller is behind the camera, he not only capture God’s creation—as evidence in this month’s cover photo—but also God’s people globally and right here at College Church. He also serves on our board of missions.
