Dear Friends. In case you don’t already know, we lost our dear son Josh early last Thursday morning. We are shattered, but held up by an incredible community of friends and family. We cherish your prayers. We feel every one. Because we cannot gather in a large group, we will be celebrating Josh’s life online with a “virtual” service on Saturday at 7ET/4PT. To join us, go to the website celebratingjosh.com on Saturday and we can all watch together. (Know that the service will be available to view on the same site after that time, as well). Because we sincerely want to celebrate the kid who loved sugar in every form, we encourage you to show up with a pint of ice cream or a treat of your choice. We are brokenhearted and grieving, but not without hope. We are fully resting in the promise of Psalm 34:18. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Much love, Team Phenix
During this time of quarantine, we’re all having LOTS of family meals. As great as sitting around the dinner table sounds, sometimes it’s challenging to make it meaningful. We get it! We’re living the same life. This week we thought we’d pull this episode from our vault to remind us of the difference sitting around the table makes in connecting as a family.

This unexpected season is assuredly changing the way your family functions. All of our families will be experiencing closer proximity, fewer outlets to blow off steam (like organized sports and time with friends), and more opportunities to let emotions boil over. Still, this season will also give us an unprecedented chance to capitalize on the family time that we often miss due to busy schedules, more touch points in conversation, and moments to simply grow closer to each other. Know we’ll be praying for you and your family. Also, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out on the socials!
