Upcoming Events for Youth
Pastor’s Corner Summer is here! As we
travel and spend time with
family and friends, I want to
remind you of two items
that you will want to know.
Our sanctuary renovation
project continues! As you
read this, we are wrapping
up the light renovation and
will be back in the
Sanctuary for worship on
Sunday, July 14. I am
looking forward to that
service, where we will
celebrate this next phase in
the improvements for our
worship space. Please
consider giving an extra
financial gift on that Sunday
to celebrate our next step.
Small gifts can add up!
Vacation Bible School is
upon us. This newsletter
has all the details and
information, but I want to
encourage you to get the
word out and invite folks to
attend. This is a highlight
for our church, and I am
really looking forward to it.
See you Sunday!

Experiencing Worship
Sunday, June 23rd was our first Summer Worship Experience in the Fellowship Hall. I heard
so many comments about the music, and I’m always happy to hear when the music is
meaningful to worship. Sometimes a new place to experience worship gives us new eyes and
ears to feel the Spirit move. (And for some...our feet to tap!)
I just started a new book called Perspectives on Worship, a devotional book written by 26
writers, singers, and worship leaders. The introduction defines worship as “the experience of
us relating (rightly) with God.” Especially during this season, I hope you experience “LIFE,
lived fully in the awareness of God, lived with God as much as for Him.”
I am thankful that on Sundays, we can live that experience together as God’s children!
Soli Deo Gloria! Glory to God alone!

To the Women on Mission,
I want to thank you all for the very nice
goodie bag I received last week along
with a lovely visit. The bag had very nice
gifts that we use all the time. I appreciate
the fact that you still remember me even
though I have been absent from church a
long time. I am so proud to be a
member for more than 50 years. It has
been a gratifying experience. Thank you
all for taking care of the older
members. We do have the best leader
for our flock. Thanks to Derik for all
that he does.
Love to you all,
