Yes, it's true.....summer is definately is on it's way. I can always tell because my day planner keeps getting fuller by the minute. Lots of things going on with my home church....a Spring Retreat to Camp Luther in Conneaut, Ohio, for which I have signed up as the Games Coordinator...should be lots of fun!!  My wife, our Pastor, a member of our Mission & Evangelism team and myself had driven to the Camp last Sunday after church just to check things out. It is AWESOME!!   It sits right on Lake Erie. There is an outdoor chapel that overlooks the lake.....simply beautiful!! 

Our Church will be celebrating our 100th Anniversary this June. We have a whole weekend of events planned to help celebrate. The Glory Be To God!!!  We have 4 rummage sales scheduled over the summer, with the first one being this Saturday. I went in to the church this morning to help get things set up for the sale. There was about 8 of us getting the items organized and put on tables so they can be priced. I ended up leaving earlier than I had wanted to....I did something that I shouldn't have done alone and I pulled some muscles in my lower back. Alleve and a 4 hr nap can work wonders!! I am still a bit sore but not as bad as this afternoon.

We are doing something new for our Bible Study classes before Sunday morning services. Normally, we take a book from the Bible and break it down and study it. This time, our Pastor has decided to do a study on our Liturgy. Why we say the things that we say, what it all means. I am actually looking forward to this study. It's a small change of pace from just studying from the Bible. We actually have a Thursday night study group that had started the Bible from the book of Genesis and currently we have finished 2nd Samuel and barely have gotten into 1st Kings.

So, as you can see, I have lots going on this summer with my home church. I am still serving as Head of our Transportation Ministry, Head Usher for my team of Ushers, which has given me a seat on the Church Council, and I have, within the last couple of months, been elected as an Elder's Assistant.

So I do appologize if I haven't written in a while or responded to anyone's blogs. It has been a busy year for me so far and I only see it getting busier as summer approaches. You all are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You All !!
