July 2026
From the Pastor: I guess it is summer, officially. Traffic in the morning has gone way down with not so many school buses and parents making their way to the schools around town. The temperature gauge in my car is reading consistently in the 80’s-90’s. And the need for more popsicles at about 3pm is an absolute necessity at my house.
But the idea of summer being in full swing can cause some people more grief than relaxation. After all, those kids are no longer away at school all day. They are flooding each other’s homes with parties, swimming and music. They are crowding the movie theater and maybe even your quiet spot at the park. Life is not like it was when there is school in session.
So I guess we look at this not as an opportunity to complain, but a chance to spend time with those young people who we don’t get to see as much as we would like. A time to share what experiences we have that they would enjoy hearing and maybe even learn a little bit about life.
God has put us here to be His mouthpiece and why not share what you know about life but about our God.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
You may not see the results now, but laying the groundwork when they are young will be beneficial not only to them, but to you as well.
So, this summer, share!
Share the Good News of Jesus. Share what God has given you with those young people who need to hear it. Even if they tell you I know it already, it is still important and not “old school.” The Gospel of Jesus is “cool” even in the 95 degree heat of summer.
Enjoy these next 2 months.In His Service,
