Monthly Newsletter

As I think about the last several weeks together, one theme keeps surfacing again and again. We’ve seen it in the calling of the disciples, the wedding at Cana, and throughout the parables. Again and again, Jesus steps into everyday life and reveals that the Kingdom of God is closer than we often realize.

And this time of year often shifts our rhythms. School is out. Vacations begin. Ballgames fill the calendar. And while summer can be refreshing, it can also quietly tempt us into spiritual drift… not because we stop believing, but because we stop paying attention.

But what if we saw this summer as an opportunity… not to pull away from God, but to notice Him more deeply in the middle of everyday life?

Maybe Jesus wants to meet us around backyard grills and campground fires. Maybe He wants to form us during long walks, road trips, and evenings on the porch. Maybe He wants to use ordinary conversations to encourage someone who is weary or lonely. Or remind us that discipleship isn’t something reserved for Sunday mornings, it’s a way of life.

As a church, I hope we continue becoming people who “come and see” Jesus not only in worship, but in everyday ordinary moments.

So as June begins, here’s a simple encouragement: stay connected. Stay connected to worship. Stay connected to Scripture. Stay connected to one another. Stay connected to the quiet work of the Holy Spirit in your daily life. You may be surprised how often Jesus still shows up in ordinary places and turns those moments into something holy.
