Common Threads - Summer 2024
Editor’s Patch - Kathryn Burling

Rose Bush

Our mission is to encourage, to bring hope, to unite our church body by weaving a common thread through our faith community in Christ—with our stories, prayers, and praises

SUMMERTIME

Wow…the passage of time—here we are, having moved so swiftly into the warmth of summer. Behold the fun and flowers of summertime have arrived!!

Our theme in this season is “community” and “doing good to others” (Hebrews 13:16) — family, friends, neighbors, and fellow believers at SLPCA. As you scroll through the “patches” of our summer Common Threads, enJOY and grow, as you soak in the content of the interesting variety. We have the opportunity to learn about Camp Treasure Island 2024 + the March Mission trip to Greece, which we supported in our giving and prayers. Other articles are personal and meaningful: Pastor’s Note, the Devotional, Our Stories, and Women’s and Men’s Ministry. The children’s crafts and suggested readings + lots of photos are fun to peruse. In fact take a moment for each square. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

 

 

Time, now or later, to close your eyes, and listen to an age-old, favorite hymn:

“O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing” by Charles Wesley

My tongue will speak of your righteousness, and your praises all day long.

Psalm 35:28
