Suzie Rogers here! Meet the newest addition to our family, our daughter Ashley! Isn't she beautiful and precious? Frank and the kids were so excited to meet her, and even though her arrival means that there will be one less sausage when I make beans and sausages, the kids love having a big family! And I predict that there will be many more little Rogerses to come!
New Newcrest News - Summer 2, Part 2
Abilene Johnson here! What a season this was, full of highs, with shocking lows, yet we are here to praise the Watcher through all of them! Now for Part 2 of the Newsletter!
Babies
My sister Candice Miller has welcomed baby Acklay (#8) and is still growing her family! How wonderful, and what a great way to praise the Watcher!
Suzie Rogers had baby #5 with her husband Frank, little Ashley Rogers, despite still not having a real house. Oh well.
Jobs & Promotions
My niece Lily Miller has found a job at a grocery store and is stocking shelves and working the floor as a sales clerk. While girls should not be forced to have jobs in an ideal world, she is still learning important habits and contributing to her family's income.
Birthdays
The Jones twins, David and Piper, are children now. I suppose I should acknowledge them.
So many birthdays in my sisters’ family! My niece Rose is a child now, and helping her mama and her older sisters, while her toddler brothers Ashton and Acklay wreak havoc. Boys will be boys!My sister Candice’s husband Abner Miller is now an elder, and I’m sure his wisdom will continue to guide his family.
The Rogers family had even more birthdays! Randolph and Reginald as well as Leanne are children now, Kayleigh a teen, Suzie an adult, and their latest addition Ashley a toddler! Happy birthday!
Prayer Requests
Young girls need to learn their place, and this young lady has not yet. She keeps making snide remarks and talking back to her mother. Please pray for her contentment.
While we followers of the Watcher love to give what little we have, it’s not right to rely on donations and tips to make ends meet. Please pray for this family who still hasn’t realized that preaching in night clubs does not provide enough money for now five children.
A/N: Now that the Newcrest Home Church congregation has made it through another exciting season of life, I just wanted to take a moment to say "Hi!" to all the new people who joined recently! I love that you're here, I love that you're loving this, and if you have any questions, or if there's something you want to see more of, my Asks are always open!
I have also finally gotten around to buying Discover University, just for my Fundie Sims! Expect sinful educations and silly thoughts about University from the second generation soon!

We’re excited to welcome another family who loves to love the Watcher in our neighborhood! Michael and Martha Matthews are such a lovely couple, and so well-matched, and so... fertile.
Engagements & Weddings
It was a joyful day indeed when my dear step-daughter Madison Johnson married my husband’s disciple Connor Culver and became Madison Culver! We wish all the best to the young couple and hope that the Watcher will bless them with a little one soon!
Babies
While we grieve for our dear friend Sharon Graham, it’s important to remember how many precious babies have joined our congregation in this season, and how the Watcher continues to touch all of our lives. She herself left behind her little baby Sharon Graham, named after her and now in the excellent care of her husband, Mark Graham.
The newly arrived Matthews family has welcomed four - FOUR - new babies this season. That must be some kind of record! They had twins Mason and Mitchell, and then another set of twins, Melanie and Melissa! How extraordinary!
The Payne family has expanded too, with Jacob and Alyssa adding baby Bennett (#4) and Cordelia (#5) to their family. Congratulations!
The Watcher is so good! My husband David and I have welcomed our first child, our daughter, Abigail Johnson in this season, and we couldn’t be any happier, except by having a boy now!
Maxwell Sawyer and his wife have welcomed their fourth child, a daughter named Margaret Sawyer! How lovely to see such a good family providing an example on how one should raise their children!

Maxwell Sawyer now uses his new position as a Freelance Article Writer to spread the Word of the Watcher! Congratulations!
Mark Graham has been promoted to Warrant Officer due to his moving to Strangerville! While we wish the circumstances were better, we wish all the best to him!

The first native Newcrestian in the Payne family, Jason Payne, is now a child, while his brother Bennett and his sister Joanna are toddlers now. Happy birthday!
Time flies, and my stepdaughters Savannah and Caroline Johnson are teens now! They have taken over so many duties from Madison after she grew up and got married, and I’m especially grateful because I am so busy with baby Abby!
Maxwell Sawyer has celebrated his birthday and is an adult now, and his children are growing up fast, too. Little Randall is a toddler, and their eldest daughter Anne a child and a little mama’s helper now. Congratulations!
Even though it is a sad season for them, we want to make the Graham boys’ birthdays special! Baker is a teen now, full of energy and ambition, while his brother Riker is a child now! We wish them all the best in their endeavours!
Other News
While we of course understand how Mark Graham and his family would wish for a fresh start in Strangerville after the loss of their wive and mother, we’re nevertheless grieved to see them leave our little church community. Please continue to include them in your prayers.
We congratulate Maxwell Sawyer on finishing his book on Michelle Johnson’s life and sacrifice for the Watcher!
Prayer Requests
Having friends is a wonderful thing, but it’s even better when they’re not all up in your business. Please pray for this lady who has no idea when to stop talking.
The Watcher wants us to have children, but He also wants us to love them, and care for them. Please pray for this lady who has her hands full with too many arrows already, and the youngest are not even children yet.
My son is young and blinded by his feelings, and does not yet know that that girl is not the One the Watcher has for him. Please pray for him to find his way.
While preaching about the Watcher’s wishes is important, some people just need to shut up and mind their own business. And not write stupid, insensitive books.
Abilene Johnson here. After such a season of change and grief for all of us it is so comforting to come here, to this familiar living room, and let the sweet fellowship and comforting words of the Watcher ease our pains and soothe our worries. I could not be more grateful or wish for a more wonderful community of like-minded followers of the Watcher!
"Life is hard right now, and we're all grieving. But I believe it is time for a new start for our family. I have accepted a promotion and we're moving to Strangerville immediately."
"To Strangerville? Are you nuts, dad? That is just too far away!"
"But our school is here, all of our friends are here!"
"You can't do that!"
"We're going, and that is the last word."
"I am so sorry about Sharon, please allow me to offer you my condolences."
"Thank you so much for meeting me, David. I just don't know what to do, and you've been through this before."
"Of course. I'm your pastor, and it's part of my job to support my people in trying times."
"How do I carry on? Sharon's dead and I just... it seems like my life is over, too. I can barely drag myself out of bed every morning. Everything around me just... reminds me of her, and it hurts so much."
"I know it hurts, but this is what the Watcher has planned for your family. Just continue to put one foot in front of the other and make the best decisions you can for your family."
"Chelsea, Riker. Your mom died at the hospital giving birth to your sister."
"Mom... mom is gone?"
"Yes. I'm so sorry."
"But mom can't be gone! Who's gonna take care of the baby?"
"We will. All of us will. Together as a family."
"Dad, what's going on? Where's mom?"
"I... your mom, she's dead."
"Dead? What? I can't believe it! Not... not mom! She said she was fine!"
"I... I guess she wasn't. I'm so sorry."
"What about the baby?"
"She's... she's all right. You have a baby sister."
"Oh, mom."
