NEW ROWE BABY!

"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.' The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;..."

weighing 7 pounds and 19 and 3/4 inches long.

Her first name, Katharine, means "pure" and is given in memory of Jeff's maternal grandmother. Ellis is a surname on Kelly's maternal grandmother's side of the family dating back to the 1800s.

We are grateful beyond measure and humbled as well to be entrusted with this precious new life to nurture and train for God's glory. Thanks be unto the Lord!

Psalm 100"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."
