LONDON CALLING! England and pilgrimage are calling me and our J2A pilgrim team. We leave Monday for our 10 day journey. We have posted the first two entries on our pilgrim BLOG so you can see our itinerary and some initial thoughts about our spiritual journey. Click here for the blog.  During Sunday's worship we will say prayers of blessing for all the group. We take off Monday for Dulles airport and our nonstop to London. We return Thursday, June 28. 
 
We had one change in plans this week. Marta Cohen, our youth minister, was planning to go with us. She is pregnant, and her doctor had said all would be well. Marta had a little scare this past weekend and, although she and baby are just fine, the doctor now advises her not to travel overseas. Fortunately Maureen Loflin jumped right in to take her place! Maureen has traveled a lot with youth, and teaches high school, so she was reasonably free. All of us who are going give thanks that on one week notice she could say YES to God's call. 
 
Last Sunday we began our Summer Schedule. Thank you for paying attention. We had only a couple people still show up at 10:30 and no one at 9:15 that we know of. It was nice to have pretty full worship, including 59 people at Sundays@5, which set a new record for that late service. This Sunday, I will preaching at 8, 10, and 5:00 in the Church. Ashley will be in the Gathering. 
 
Friday at 1:00 is the funeral service for Pat Williamson, with reception following. 
 
See you Sunday, if not before. Keep the faith, but don't keep it to yourself!
