Summer Time!

Sort of. It is June 8th but it feels more like April! Summer is slow in coming to us this year.

But the normal benchmarks still come, no matter what the weather- graduation, grilling out, flip flops (which I will continue to wear despite the temperature!), parties, vacations, and summer worship schedule at church.

It is fun (for me) to have everyone worship together during the summer. I bet you see a lot of new faces if you normally only go to one of our Sunday services. Don't be afraid to introduce yourself to someone you don't know- I think people are understanding if you don't know their name, especially if they go to a different service. One service on Sunday gives us a chance to meet other Christians that are a part of the Grace family.

Summer at church also means we have more visitors- make them feel welcome and invite them to come back to worship, to join a group you partipate in at Grace, or to a special event coming up. Hospitality is one of our very important jobs as Christians.

Summer is supposed to be a "slow" time, but I bet we can all agree that somehow, it seems busier than the rest of the year! I hope that you will find time though to relax, to be with those you love, and to worship God.

May your summer be safe and joyful!
