In astronomical terms, summer begins with the summer solstice on June 21st. But in cultural terms, summer began last Monday with Memorial Day. Summer brings a change of pace, with backyard barbecues, concerts in the park, weekend getaways, and family vacations. The summer effect finds its way into the church as well. Things slow down a bit, with generally lower worship attendance and fewer mid-week activities. A few special events also get added to the calendar - including Breakfast on the Pass and Church Camp. Summer can be something akin to Sabbath – a time for us to experience rest and renewal for our weary souls. When you are in town I hope you will join us for worship on Sunday mornings, and wherever your life takes you in the next few months I hope that you will have the opportunity to be refreshed. And whether these days find you traveling or at home, please remember to continue supporting Plymouth with your prayers and your financial contributions. Summer may bring with it a slower pace, but the bills still need to be paid. Thank you for being a part of this vibrant community of faith which we call Plymouth.
