5 Years, 5 Winks - Update from Chris and Laura Winkleman

Job - Laura and I have been living in Meridian, MS for just over 5 years now. God brought us to New Hope Baptist Church to be the Associate Pastor of Youth and Education just after graduating from Union and getting married. About a year after we moved down, the Senior Pastor left and the church asked me to be the interim pastor. God did some very interesting things during that time and after about a year of preaching, they called me to be the Senior Pastor. We just celebrated our 3rd anniversary in that position.

Kids - Meanwhile, we are having babies left and right. Our oldest, Sophie, was born just 4 days after our first wedding anniversary. Our son Isaac came along about 18 months later. And just 5 months ago, Mary Beth was born. Our house is busy to say the least, but God is providing for all of our needs and teaching us valuable lessons every day.

Wife - Laura is doing very well. She serves as the part-time Minister of Music at the church, and she is a full-time mom. The last few weeks have been particularly busy as she is starring as Belle in the community theater production of Beauty and the Beast. I have come to appreciate her more and more as I watch the 3 while she is at rehearsal.

Life is good.
