It's summertime summertime sum sum summertime

Summertime summertime sum sum summertime summertime...
You all likely have your own way of singing this song. For some, it's spending time in the back garden or a walk in the Fells. For others it's a swim or baseball game. Maybe today in the heat, it's simply sitting in a spot of shade with a good book and a glass of iced tea. Yesterday, before going into the office, I went for a long bike ride along the river and took a quick dip in the ocean. It sure was cold. On the return ride, I saw several great egrets hunting for fish in the marsh.
In whatever way you celebrate summer, may it be a time of re-creation in you. May you experience something of the eternal in those things that bring you joy.
The office is now closed for the summer. I will be coming into the office most days to check messages and mail and plan for the fall. Please contact me for an appointment. Drop-in office hours are at Coffee, Tea and Me from 4-6 P.M. on Wednesdays, June 26th, July 24, 31, August 21, 28. Please stop in and say hello.
My time away for professional development and vacation will take me out of the area on July 8-19 and August 5-19. Office messages will be checked during that time and pastoral care will be provided by a local pastor.
Blessings, Beth
Please join us all summer, as we worship with the greater Melrose Protestant community. I am preaching this Sunday and hope to see you at Green Street Baptist. Worship resumes at MHCC on August 25th.
