Cover Photo:  This is another photo by Annika Palmquist.  Water lily ponds often convey a sense of quiet and peace.  Perhaps dragonflies and damselflies flit quietly around the same pond.  These last busy days of the summer seem especially appropriate to enjoy the natural expressions of peace and constancy that God has placed in the world.  Having just returned from a trip across South Dakota and Wyoming, we were privileged to experience a number of these.  One need only to pause and enjoy the grandeur of a clear starry night, the gentle gurgle of a small creek, the majesty of the mountains, the stateliness of tall trees, or the quietness of a pond to find a moment of tranquility.  These ageless beauties are reminders of the lasting peace that only God can give. 

 

The Monthly Choir is back!  The choir will sing on Fall Kickoff Sunday, September 12th.  There will be one rehearsal on Saturday, September 11 from 10:00 a.m. until noon.  All those interested in singing with this fun group are invited to join.  Please see Erik for music.
