Welcome to Walnut Hills Happenings! Laura, Katie, Ben and I wanted to document our year in Cincinnati for family, friends, and others who are interested in the new program of Brethren Volunteer Service intentional communities.



It's our first week living together and we are all getting settled into our jobs and the city. Last weekend was nice, so we got to explore some of the beautiful Eden Park we live right next to and find our way to the local Kroger groccery store. Walking home loaded down with grocceries - in canvas bags of course - is going to get us some great exercise. Now however, it's very cold and rainy here in Cincy - why can't it just be sunny and 70 degrees all the time?



As far as work goes, Laura and I are working with the Cincinnati Church of the Brethren, so we are just getting acquainted with the church. What better way to do that than to have the children's story and children's church for two age groups to plan from start to finish for this Sunday! Though I wish it were warmer, I think we have moved in at a great time of year because we also get to coordinate a trip to a corn maze - many of the kids live in the city and don't get to see fields very often if at all - and we are having a Halloween Block Party in the park next to the church.



Check back regularly for more posts, the plan is that one of the four of us will have posting duties on the blog for a week each month, so you will get a variety of perspectives on our experience.
