Annual Conference is over and I believe my head is just about above water again! While at Conference it is my honor to be the AV person that gets everyone's Power Point up on the screen for their presentation. I enjoy creating the slides but presenations are getting more and more sophisticated so there is more time. I don't get much sleep on these long weekends and so I'm pretty tired once I get back, and not at all ready to jump back in to things at home!
I am excited about the week ahead. It is our first Middle School Mission camp with First Presbyterian and Grace Episcopal churches. Each day we will head into Jefferson City and participate in a mission...lunch at the Salvation army shelter, work at the Samaritan Center, paint a room at the Agape house, and walk the dogs at the Humane Society. We will study the story of the Good Samaritan and on THursday evening we will stay at the camp and experience a hunger meal, campfire, and then work a little at the camp on Friday morning. SHould be busy but good to be with 30 kids as they serve in the world. Please keep us in your prayers!
The Power of Forgiveness started with 11 folks, Invitatin to the New Testament with 8 folks, Longing to Belong with 3. There is much happening at the church for the summer season...I do believe the Spirit is moving and shaking us loose a bit.
So what are you excited about as this season gets underway? Where is God shaking you loose? I am reading a couple of books, "Thoughts Matter" by Mary Margaret Funk; about our inner spiritual life. It has been enlightening. What are you reading?

Chris, We're glad all 3 of you are back!
I just finished THE KITE RUNNER from the 2007 UMW Reading List and although fiction, I found it really educational on what has been happening in Afghanistan since 1975. Our church library has a copy on the general circulation shelves and one on the Ed. for Mission UMW shelf. It certainly made me appreciate what I have as a citizen of the U.S. of A.
By the way, Pastor Daniel mentioned the movie SHADOWLAND in this morning's sermon and we have that video for checkout in the church library also.

I am reading a book about the theology that is in THE SHACK. Interesting.
Also found a series of Christian Fiction
