June is often called the Gateway to Summer. Just thinking about it brings images of blue skies, bright sunshine, glistening swimming pools, outdoor barbecues with smells of hamburgers and hot dogs sizzling on the grill. These thoughts can bring peaceful, rejuvenating images to our brains and rest to our hearts.

Sports commentator Al Bernstein put it this way, “Knowing Spring would be a hard act to follow, God created June.” I like that idea, don’t you?

We have a lot to look forward to at our Church in June including our Youth Mission team ministry report, Celebrating Father’s Day and a special Patriotic Concert featuring Gospel Recording Artist and TV host Kevin Shorey, leading up to the 250th Anniversary of our Nation.

In addition, we have begun two additional Sunday worship services two times a month. The 2nd Sunday we are at the Embassy of Winchester in Canal Winchester and the 4th Sunday we are at Laurels of Walden Park in Columbus both at 2pm.

Summer promises to be an exciting and renewing time for each of us as we serve God, our greater community and one another.

The 90- year old Theologian Janet Chittister said, “June is the time for being in the world in a new way. Throwing off the cold and dark spots of life.”

Join me in trying on a new way of being this Summer, reconnecting and recommitting to all God is doing in and through us.

May God richly bless you as this new season unfolds.

I’ll see you soon in Church and around the community.

Your friend,

Pastor Steve
