Hello friend, I hope you're having a great week! I have been keeping a fairly low profile as our family "stay-cations" this week, celebrating 4 birthdays in our family from July 4th through July 11th. I hope that you are able to find moments and times of relaxation. It is so important! It's something commended to us by God's Word and exemplified by Jesus himself. Check on your neighbors! It's been super hot! Take them some lemonade or tea or ice cream! It's a great opportunity to be kind and show that, because of Christ, you care for them. I'm praying for us! It's an honor to be a pastor among you. I'm excited to be with you this Sunday night and open up God's Word with you and look at the one hope we are called too! Lord willing, I'll see you Sunday!

Grace & Peace,
John
