FROM THE MINISTER’S DESK
“What are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?” (Psalm 8:4) Henri Nouwen wrote, “Life is a gift. Each one of us is unique, known by name, and loved by the One who fashioned us. Unfortunately, there is a very loud, consistent, and powerful message coming to us from our world that leads us to believe that we must prove our belovedness by how we look, by what we have, and by what we can accomplish.” Take joy and rest in the truth of God’s mindfulness and care of you.

SUMMER CAMP 2024: The Blessed Way
The Blessed Way, held from July 8th to 12th, has come to an exhilarating close! The full day camp was a blast, with 15 enthusiastic campers, five energetic youth volunteers, two dedicated summer student workers, and three amazing adult helpers. Through our sponsor-kids-to-camp initiatives, we were able to support four families in need, allowing five children to join in the fun. We are incredibly grateful for your financial assistance and faithful prayers. To share our joy and the unforgettable moments, we invite you to watch our recap video: The Blessed Way 2024. Glory be to God!
