We are not fully able to describe God. We begin with the Holy Trinity – remembering that God is bigger than us! God is fully divine, fully human, and fully spirit – that means fully mysterious and so much more than we can wrap our brains around. In this ordinary time, we are reminded through the everyday stories of the Bible of God’s "bigger" mercy, mission, compassion, freedom, and expectation. May this series bless your summer in big and small ways. 

On Sunday, July 12 at Outdoor Worship we'll have a special lineup of bluegrass music and musicians. We hope you'll join us!

We are still seeking volunteers for the following roles:

• Tropical Treat Time Supervisors/Helpers
• Greeters and Check-In Volunteers
• Decoration set up (approximately 1 hour on Saturday, July 11 at 2:00pm)

Please share these opportunities with anyone you know who may be interested in helping make this year's VBS a success. Contact Doug Anderson to help out or learn more!

Rev. Dr. Chandran Paul Martin serves as the ELCA Regional Representative for churches in Asia and the Pacific, with primary responsibilities including health care, development, disaster response, and sustainable community-based development ministries with the ELCA companions in the region. We hope you'll join us to learn more about how First Lutheran supports his global outreach!
