Summer is here! As I write this, we are experiencing the first really warm days of the year. Things are springing up all around. People are out and moving around outside. This is a repeated ritual in Minnesota year after year. After winter (no matter how easy it is) the return to warm temperatures and new life gives us a sense of energy. It is exactly this that we dream of on colder and darker days in the winter. We know it's coming and the anticipation is what consoles us and presses us forward. So it is with our lives of faith. There will be difficult days in our lives, but we know that they will pass and the warmth of the good times that God gives presses us forward.

We gather as a community to remember and to celebrate this every week. It is easy to forget. That's why we need to be frequently reminded with worship. So, it is as we enter into a season where we are out and about more (and not necessarily around home), that I would like to encourage you to worship regularly wherever you may be. We need to hear these rock solid promises that we are given by God. We need to be reminded and to remind others. Gather together and celebrate these wonderful gifts given to us by God!

God's blessings for an amazing start to summer!


In Christ,


Pastor Matt
