I hope you will enjoy any vacation time you might have this summer.

I will enjoy my time that I will be taking in a few weeks. One reason I will enjoy it is because I will have given my tithe before I leave on vacation. Yes, that is important to me. The work of the Lord goes on even in our absence. Our commitment to Him and His commitment to us do not take vacations. It is important that we honor Him by keeping our commitments. After all, can you really enjoy spending His money on vacation? I couldnt. During this very busy summer season the Personnel Committee thought it expedient that we have someone co-ordinate the work of the Youth and Youth Ministry. The Committee chose Hildy Conder to be the Summer Youth Director. Her job will last the months of June and July. She will be responsible for carrying out the plans made by the Youth Advisory Committee, communicating with parents and youth about events, and providing hands on leadership for events. Thanks Hildy for your help. I hope to see you this Sunday in worship and study.
