Chris and Dianne have just cross-adopted their children, Lydia and Kaisa, an occasion of great celebration. Joy came to us by a chance meeting with Little Sister Francesca, and she and husband Matt have been valuable friends ever since.

Sally Hanlon mixing something up in the Stewarts' kitchen. We're always fighting the same old battles. Here are the young people fighting the battle of Jehrico. It's always the young that the old send off to war, isn't it? Chris is wearing a T-shirt that says, among other things, "I am invincible". Pride goes before a fall.

This is a typical Saturday at St. Stephen and the Incarnation Church at 16th and Newton, NW. The Community has been preparing and serving meals to the poor and elderly there for over 30 years. We now cook the first Saturday of each month. Though we always buy the food and cook it, volunteers often help serve. In the plate assembly line are volunteers from Metropolitan Baptist in D.C. and First Presbyterian in Henderson, NC. Other volunteer groups include D.C. Cares.
