Short Hiatus

Dear Brothers:

Greetings!  I'm going to be helping out a family tomorrow, so we won't have our usual get-together.  Between now and our as-yet-to-be-determined next official gathering, stay tuned to our blog and your email.  I would like, in early August, to have a lunch meeting at The Egg & I restaurant to plan our local mission project.  Again, stay tuned.

Keep reading!  Stay engaged!  Set aside time, daily, for meditation and prayer.  To our joys and concerns list, I would add the plight of the Iraqi Christians.  On a happier note, rejoice that many young people are having spirits, minds, and bodies nourished at the Synod Youth Conference.  Our own Robert Jones is with the young people at our church.

Your Scribe,
PRDunklau
