Summer Musings

7/25/2016

I love our summer break. I take my vacation, visiting friends and family. But I miss being with you. I miss gathering weekly to worship. These past couple of weeks, I especially have missed our time of Joys and Concerns.  I have missed our communal prayers. Those prayers we offer for each other and the prayers we offer for our world make a difference in my life. I trust that they make a difference in the world as well. 
 
This Wednesday night from 7-7:30 P.M. I'll be in the sanctuary to offer a time of prayer. Come, if you would like to be together. Come, if you would like to offer prayer. Come, if you would like to light a candle. 
 
While at Pine Ridge, we dreamed about an Adult Mission Trip in 2017. We wanted as many as possible to have the incredible experience of being there. But reservations open up at Pine Ridge for next year on August 1st which leaves us little time to get the word out. The week we are considering is June 24-30th. The cost for the program is $549 per person plus transportation costs. The transportation cost this year was roughly $875 which makes the total cost per person at $1424. Should you be interested, please let me know by the end of this week. This trip would be entirely self pay. If we have 6 or more adults who make the commitment, we will do it. Should you want to participate, we would need your non-refundable deposit of $183 by September 1st. 
 
I'll be at LaQ from 4-6 P.M. on Wednesday. Please stop in if you can. As mentioned above, I'll be in the sanctuary from 7-7:30 P.M. 
 
 
Blessings, Beth
