Hello Families!
I am on Vacation in Maine enjoying all of God's creation! Osprey, big Blue Herons, Bald Eagles, and more.
Just wanted to remind you about this Sunday's events - Blessing of Backpacks and Club 45 Pool Party.

We are so excited to get back to the block with you! We have missed you - it is not the same without every one of you!

I will send out a description of ministry opportunities with our children around the first week of August. We need every one of you! We need your time, talents, and presence to really make our programs transformational for our kids.
And in the giving, you will receive! You will also be transformed by the wisdom and wit of our kids, by the relationships you build with them and the adults ministering with you, and by the Holy Spirit who is ever present and ever blessing us on this journey.
So pray about how you will be a part of this Holy, Messy, Lovely ministry!


Peace to you,

Kathy
