30 Days of Catch: Day 21 with Hannah Giere
We met in the morning and found an area of shade. It was still hot! Like really hot. At the time of today’s game of catch this morning, it was already 81 degrees and humid. Hot, but not too hot for a game of catch with Hannah Giere…
30 Days of Catch: Day 20 with Wesley Sapp
How about a game of catch after worship? I really didn’t think through my invitation when I made it. I preached two services, greeted members and guests before and following worship, and facilitated a meeting after church…

30 Days of Catch: Day 17 with CUMC staff

30 Days of Catch: Day 16 with Bill Stoltenberg
Today was a game of firsts. I played with my first “southpaw,” or left-handed thrower. Bill Stoltenberg grew up, raised his family, and lives right here in northeast Indianapolis.
30 Days of Catch: Day 15 with Rev. Dr. Aleze Fulbright
It feels like fall and football, not summer and baseball. Today has brought fall-like weather to central Indiana for a few days, but that doesn’t stop my 30 days of catch!
30 Days of Catch: Day 14 with Senator Fady Qaddoura
We received a few interested looks from people in suits who walked by the south side of the Statehouse this morning. Today, I played a game of catch with Senator Fady Quaddoura of District 30.
30 Days of Catch: Day 13 with Carley and Evie Garrison
With fans watching and the crowd cheering, we played our game of catch on day 13 of my 30 days of catch. Now I realize that the crowd was cheering for the Indianapolis Indians playing behind us, but the fans watching were all church kids and a few parents squeezing together in the shrinking shade avoiding the hot August sunlight.
