Hello, dear readers!!
How are folks this fine Wednesday evening?
I am doing well- doing my utmost to finish my doctoral homework before heading to Harrisburg with our mission team… and speaking of heading out: A concerned CAYG parent contacted me today asking about when I’m moving? She couldn’t recall exactly where she thought she saw it, and neither can I because I have no plans of leaving Pittsburgh OR CAYG. So put away your mourning tissues and celebratory piñatas: You’re (still) stuck with me indefinitely. (My condolences. But mostly you’re welcome.)
But let’s talk about what IS happening! (Don’t worry, this won’t take long.)
THANK YOU Open Hand Ministry Helpers!

Well done to all who helped out last Saturday! Word on the block is some of our CAYGers brought their Boy Scout Troop! Don’t forget to invite them to join us when CAYG resumes in the fall! 😉
Pray for Harrisburg
Because we’re coming. Sunday.
It would be great if you could pray for us individually, as a team, and the people we will be encountering from Sunday-Friday! Leaders are Jess & Joss Bennet, Harrison Dean, and myself! Youth are Sam B. Micah H. Zoey H. Kalu K. Chapin N. Silas P. Dot S. Lucy S. Soren S. Will V. And Nadah Z.!
If you want to send us off, swing by Ascension around 1pm to pray with us! We cast off at 1:30.
Movies in the park

With that dear readers, I bid you adieu. As I said, not much going on. Sooooo Cake Update?
You’ll remember how last week I alluded to doing cupcakes for a wedding? Well let me just take an opportunity to brag. A lot.

#Boom. 10 dozen of those little guys. And the spiced lemon ginger w/ lemon frosting was my own original recipe! #DoubleBoom.
Much love,
Kelsey Nienna ❤
P.S. As I will be in Harrisburg, and Alex will still be out of the country, there likely won’t be an email next week.
