Banquet Dinner




This photo was taken last night. We went to the the Peoria Rescue Ministries 52nd Annual Stewardship Celebration. The guest speaker was Kerby Anderson. (The tall guy in the picture.) Kerby Anderson is the National director of Probe Ministries International. We heard several testimonies from people who have been helped by the ministries.

After the dinner, we went and talked with two of the families that we go to church with, the father of these families also work with John. It was a wonderful time of being able to fellowship, and just enjoy the company of believers. It was a time for John to learn more about the work that he is doing, and the history of Samaritan Ministries. It was a time for me to be able to get to know a few more of the people that I haven't had very much time to talk with.

Upcoming events, and family news...

Family news...

Well, there isn't a whole lot to report on this front. Besides skirts that are getting to tight and shirts that are getting stretched out a little. Baby Creath is growing and doing well. The last midwife appointment went very well, and so far everything has been going great. We are currently 23 weeks along. Just a little over halfway. Already I am trying to figure out where time has gone, before we know it little John or Charlotte will be here making the pressence of the newest Creath well known. Not that he or she hasn't been already. I usually feel the baby moving the most around 10:00 or 11:00 PM. I also sometimes feel it in the morning as I am waking up. I think right now that is one of my favorite times of the day. Cuddling with my husband and feeling this new little life inside of me growing and moving. John's work is going well. In fact I am sitting right next to him as I type this. Our internet has been kinda on and off of late so I am using the laptop at SMI.

We are trying to get ready for winter, the weather up here is just cool enough to let us know that winter is coming, but warm enough that it makes one want to be outside as much as possible. I have missed this time, the definite change of seasons. Leaves that turn an amazing varity of color, and the breeze. It one of those things that you only understand if you have spent time living elsewhere, before living in Georgia.

Upcoming Events

The next big event that the Creath family is looking forward to is the Reformation Day Faire. Don't worry we will post pictures after the event. The Faire is October 27th. A little under two weeks away. I have been busily sewing costumes and helping those from the church that are planning the event. It is basically a time to learn more about the reformation, to fellowship, and to get to dress up. We will be having a Towne Market, a tournament, and a authentic German feast. We may even get to meet Martin Luther. ;) Well, I think that pretty much updates you all on the life of the Creath family now.

Many Blessings, and may Gods' peace be given to you.

The Nina, Tower, and playground.

The following pictures are from the weekend of October 6-7. Some friends from Georgia came up to visit, on Saturday we went down to the riverfront and went aboard the Nina (a replica of the smallest ship in Christopher Columbus's sailing fleet, also his favorite of all the ships.) After which we went to what we call the tower. An old water tower that has several levels on the top from which you can look out over the Illinois river and the surrounding area. At the bottom of the tower they have a playground, and they also have benches so we played, and rested while chatting.
