It’s summer!!

From Pastor Lisa,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing… Ephesians 1:3

And what a beautiful beginning to summer it has been. I am, of course, speaking as a non-farmer, so I hope the rains have been as timely for them and the ranchers as they have been for our neighborhoods. The time of blossoming crabapple trees, closely followed by lilacs, was gorgeous and fragrant. Tulips cheered us all up, and now irises and many others are coming, too. “How wonderful are your works, O God” said the psalmist, and it’s hard to disagree!

For many, summer brings changes to schedules. School is out…[check out the full story by opening the June CrossWord!]
