            As I write this month’s entry, we are part way through VBS. The energy of VBS is such a wonderful thing to be a part of. It is a delight to see volunteers from high school and senior saints working together to share the story of Jesus with our young people. Our opening and closing sessions are being led by Brian Wells Jr. He is doing a tremendous job getting us started on the right foot. His skits with his dad are playful and goofy and the kids love it. All the hours that were given to decorating the church have really made it a special place to be. Our kitchen team is crafting simple, delicious meals and no one leaves McLean Hall hungry.           It is hard to believe we are entering August already. The summer has, once again, flown by. In the month of August, we are going to be looking at “On The Incarnation” together on Thursday nights at 7pm. You can join us via livestream...

  The trustees have several small projects in the making like plumbing upgrades, old stone fence repair, brush removal, and power washing the vinyl siding on the yellow house and church addition. We had a contractor repair the AC unit in the office which in the end was more economical than anticipated.

Reminder: We are still looking for a contractor to help fix the Steeple peak and weathervane. We are going to eliminate commercial clean...

  In the popular 1963 song “Lazy Days of Summer”, Nat King Cole sang: Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer Those days of soda and pretzels and beer... Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer You'll wish that summer could always be here ! Like most others the Deacons are also taking time to enjoy our lazy, hazy, crazy summer days with family, friends and acquaintances and as such there is not much to report this month. We are still aware of and monitoring situations and circumstances that would require our response but for the most part we're taking a little time off. We wish each of you a blessed, enjoyable and active summer. Be a child with your children and grandchildren. Join them in their annual respite from the rigors of school and have some fun with them. Psalm 127, Verses 3-5 reminds us: “ Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Blessed is...
