“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?”

(Psalm 27:1)

Dear OSLC members and friends,

Over Memorial Weekend, Brian and I enjoyed traveling. Our annual fishing trip up north included: hiking in state parks, kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, swimming, boating, and driving through beautiful landscape. The day we visited Split Rock Lighthouse State Park, a new exhibit was on display. We also watched an informative short documentary that detailed the tragic events leading up to the building of the lighthouse. Prior to the lighthouse, a voyage on Lake Superior without any light and limited navigation tools proved to be dangerous. The lighthouse became a beacon in the dark, offering guidance and protection.

During the summer months, perhaps you also enjoy vacations and the great outdoors. Whether you walk the bridge loop in downtown Stillwater or camp in the wilderness, Christ is with you always. Jesus is with you on your journey. Like a lighthouse, Jesus provides guidance, protection and assurance that we never journey alone. May you trust and know that Christ is your constant companion on life’s trail.

Faithfully,

Pastor Karna
