Prayer on the first day of Summer
Father,
Creator of all, thank You for summer!
Thank
you for the warmth of the sun and the increased daylight.
Thank You for the beauty I see all
around me and for the opportunity to be
outside and enjoy Your creation.
Thank You for the increased time I
have to be with my friends and family, and for the more casual pace of the
summer season.
Draw
me closer to You this summer.
Teach me how I can pray no matter where I am or what I am
doing.
Warm
my soul with the awareness of Your presence and light my path with Your Word and
Counsel.
As I enjoy Your creation, create in
me a pure heart and a hunger and a
thirst for You.
Amen.

30 Days of Listening: Day 19
Today's 30 days of listening practice:
Imagine if each day was a new beginning--a day full of promise. How would you imagine tomorrow to be? This evening, sit with this quote from Henri Nouwen:
A new beginning! We must learn to live each day, each hour, yes, each minute as a new beginning, as a unique opportunity to make everything new. Imagine that we could live each moment as a moment pregnant with new life. Imagine that we could live each day as a day full of promises. Imagine that we could walk through the new year always listening to a voice saying to us: "I have a gift for you and can't wait for you to see it! Imagine!"

The last Sunday of spring was a delightful morning filled with joy, praise, and fellowship.
During the announcements, Bill Gragg was happy to share that the income from yesterday's rummage sale exceeded $2,000 and will be split between the UMW and UMM.
Also announced today was that Pastor Charles has been reappointed by Bishop Stanovsky to the Stevensville UMC for another year.
Today's summer musical offering was led by Dean Diers who introduced and the led the singing of "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing."
Pastor Charles continued the summer sermon series on the Twelve Minor Prophets with a look at Joel 2:27-32.
Reminder: The adult study classes meet each Sunday at 9:00 am throughout the year.
