Notes from the moderator

Summer is here and it is time to relax and hopefully slow down a little bit. I know we are looking forward to several camping trips and an Arizona vacation. This may mean that our attendance is a bit sporadic on Sunday mornings, but hopefully you can take a few minutes of every day away to revel in the beauty of God’s earth and thank him for it. It should be a great summer season!

It has been a year since the retreat and seminar many of us attended at Riverside Community Church. We have tried to focus on what we learned there, but maybe we need to revisit some of those topics. In the coming weeks we may try to have a refresher course and discuss some of the things we were hoping to implement. It may be fall before we can bring this together since it is the vacation time of year, but it would do us good to revisit some of the suggestions and see how we are doing.

The Wider Service Team has been hard at work putting together different activities that we can share with each other and the wider community, please be sure to read their newsletter article so you can share in the fun of each and every event!

Sometimes as I sit down to write this monthly article I wonder, “Does anyone actually read what I have written?” So this month I would challenge each of you to send me a text when you have finished reading—it will be interesting to see how many of you do. 309-712-9678

Enjoy your summer and see you at church!!
