| Memorial Day is now behind us, and thoughts of summer are creeping into our minds even though there is no sign that it is coming as far as the weather goes. The school year is coming to a close, and it is getting harder and harder for the kids to do their schoolwork. Summer is a great time! It feels like a time when our "batteries" are recharged. Summer also brings lots of different activities. Let me preview with you our church's summer activities. The first major activity for the summer is our Vacation Bible School. This year, it will take place on June 24-26. Then, our presbytery teen camp rolls in on July 11-18. We load up the bus and off we go to Bitterroot Lake, MT. The next summer activity will take place on July 19, and I am very excited for this one. We get to host several PMU missionaries all at once! Be on the look out for more information on this event. Next, Elder Anderson and I will represent our church at our General Synod in Grand Island, NY. We will be celebrating the 75thanniversary of the founding of our denomination. The last planned activity for the summer is a community barbecue at the church on September 9th. The barbecue will kick off the celebration of our local church's 50th anniversary, which will, Lord willing, end with our hosting the 2014 General Synod meeting. I am excited for all the special activities the summer brings. I am even more excited, however, for every Lord's Day during the summer (and throughout the year) because we get to meet with our Lord as his body. May the Lord bless all these activities, especially his worship on his day! http://olympiabp.blogspot.com/2013/05/from-pastors-desk-summer.html | |||
