Dear Friends and Family:
Greetings
from the Jeschke clan! We send our warmest wishes for a joyous Christmas season
and a blessed New Year. This past year, we welcomed two precious granddaughters
into the family: Zoë Ryan to Brett & Barbee on August 7 and Brooke Lynne to Cheryl &
Brian on Sept. 10. Our next to youngest son Brendan, graduated from Eastern Mennonite U and promptly found a
job, for which we are grateful. Regrettably, his job training took place the
same week as the triennial C.S. Lewis Foundation’s Oxbridge conference, so
although this was his turn to attend, his younger brother Kevin took his place. I (Melanie)
obtained a grant to give “Inklings” walking tours to conferees in Oxford and
teach a seminar on Jane Austen in Cambridge. Meanwhile, my Oxford Chronicle books
are slowly rolling out in newly revised e-book editions. Our wonderful church
family at The King’s Chapel (TKC) keeps
Bill busy, and we are blessed that
all our children are involved in the ministry. Speaking of children: this
summer the entire clan, including Christen’s
family from Missouri, were able to gather on Topsail Island and celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary--- in the middle of
Hurricane Arthur---a bit tense but memorable! My siblings and niece have come to visit my parents Earl &
Betty Morey, who moved in with us nineteen months ago. My dad, struggling
with congestive heart failure, still manages to give excellent Bible teachings
weekly at TKC, while my dear mom suffers from Alzheimer’s. Your prayers for
them and us, as we face their on-going health issues, are appreciated. We are
grateful for our times together as a family and look forward to hearing from
you, dear ones, over the holidays. May Jesus the Christ, our Savior and Lord,
be born anew in our hearts today! Many blessings,
Melanie, Bill, &
the Jeschke clan
