This weekend has been absolutely gorgeous! I think God gave me a cold first summer in Michigan, and then a sweltering early summer this year to help me more fully appreciate these beautiful summer days of late! And I am!! A young brother from Lacrosse has spent the summer out here and will be returning this week to Purdue for school in the fall, so it was the perfect excuse for the Detroit church to have yet another one of their lovely picnics at McNamara. Everyone was instructed this afternoon to bring their bikes, and young and old enjoyed a lovely bike ride after dinner. We also enjoyed homemade peach ice cream and the usual kickball/frisbee and tree-climbing ;)
Our elder Mark and Bev were even able to attend for a short period tonight, and Joel and I reflected on the drive home the little things that they do to help show support for their congregation and enjoy the fellowship, while also realizing their boundaries in making sure they left early so that they could have some quiet time this evening before they travel to Rittman tomorrow for conferences... on that note, please be prayerful for wisdom and discernment of God's direction for the elders this week during the annual fall conferences, as well as for travel safety, unity, etc.
