My children hold PhD's in stalling. I'm not sure when they took the classes or wrote their dissertations, or if stalling is just in the playbook inherently given to them as they grow and develop. However, one of the main reasons my family and I think they both stall and can have a difficult time going to bed is because of their FOMO.

The "Fear of Missing Out", or FOMO, takes place a lot in our family, particularly as they believe something has to be going on while they are sleeping. I must admit, however, that the other night when our son came out of his bedroom to get some more water (in a classic stalling technique), he spotted his parents eating ice cream. With a confused look on his face and a frog in his throat, he was able to eek out "what are you eating?" In this case, I am afraid that he was correct to have FOMO. I think many of us have experienced FOMO at least once in their life. I know I have, especially this week as some of my closest seminary classmates and clergy colleagues head on a trip to Israel and Palestine this week!

Although the Program Year officially came to a close last Sunday, that doesn't mean that the fun stops! In fact, it seems as though the Church Life Ministry Team is trying to outdo itself each month this summer while the Missions Ministry Team continues to provide opportunities to serve as Christ's hands and feet in the community. Please make sure to read ALL of the amazing events going on in the life of our congregation in the upcoming weeks and months to make sure that you, too, don't experience FOMO!

I hope to see you all in worship this Sunday as we celebrate and recognize Trinity Sunday. As is noted below, this is the first Sunday that the service will NOT be streamed on Facebook Live. Instead, the tech team will post a link to the YouTube Live feed on our church's Facebook page as a means to get connected to worship. Why the change? Well, eliminating one of the THREE streaming options that are available allows for the tech team to better concentrate on all of the areas of responsibility on Sunday morning - you should give it a try sometime!

I look forward to seeing you on Sunday, if not before - remember: both men's bible study and the new Brunch Buddies take place on Saturday morning at 10 - check out the details below!
With gratitude,
Pastor Kathryn
p.s. Remember that our summer "dress code" starts this Sunday and runs through the summer. God wants you to be comfortable in these North Carolina summer months!

Many thanks from the Mission Ministry Team!
The church continues to support Backpack Beginnings in two ways:
Fellowship has started an ongoing partnership between Backpack Beginnings, Greensboro Housing Authority, and The Applewood Community. If you would like to volunteer for this opportunity, please contact Jeannine Bailer (336.856.1609) or email her.
Wondering what to do with all of those grocery shopping bags? The Missions committee will be collecting “gently used” plastic grocery bags for Backpack Beginnings. Please bring any you don’t use to church with you, leaving them on the Missions table in the Dogwood Lobby closest to the double doors leading towards the classrooms.
Calling All Graduates!
Do you have graduates in your family? If so, please let Pastor Kathryn know by Monday, June 12, so we can recognize them in worship on June 18. Please send the graduate’s information to Pastor Kathryn.
