Summer is Here!

I hope that everyone had a blessed Memorial Day weekend and start to their summer! It is a time of celebration as well as reflection on those who gave everything in honor of God and our beautiful country. It has been awhile since I have written, mostly because of all the summer festivities, so my list of blog notes to make is long, and my time is short.

I have joined the transition team performing an offshoot of my normal secretarial role, and I am finding the experience exciting and invigorating – just what I was looking for in my search for meaning in the crazy journey I am living. Unfortunately, I know this team will be a relatively short engagement, but I feel like we are working to build something that honors our past and embraces our future together. To start, we are going to spend one Sunday (June 26th) celebrating our history in this congregation, and I cannot wait to hear all the great stories!

As the transition team has begun discussion on what is meaningful to us, the conversation continuously rolls around to welcoming and connection among this small and proud community. It is my sincerest hope that we can repair and restore what the pandemic and other developments have taken from us these past couple years. The church and the people in it mean the world to me, and with all our collective talents and a little time from each of us, we can do anything. Please include our team and our church in your prayers.

Love and blessings to you all,

Hannah
