The Vacation Bible School children met their mission goal and collected enough money to buy a goat from Heifer Project. The children will keep the goat penned in the narthex until they complete their stretch goal and raise enough to purchase a companion goat. Please donate using the glass jug at the side entrance to the sanctuary. Click for more info.
…you would have to decide if your current spiritual practice was more like a fermented drink, bubbly and growing, or more like a still drink, kinda flat. Summer is the perfect time to mix in the opposite of what you already are doing, spicing thing up if you are coasting, or watering things down a bit if you are too hoppy. Again, these are summertime things, seasonal things; you don’t have to change something for the rest of eternity! But self-chosen change is the only kind of change that really works at the core level, and the only kind that helps us modify and improve in the long run.
