Summer is almost here and, as we think about the

nice, warm days to come, we look forward to the opportunities we

will have to get out in the sun, rest, relax, and do whatever it is

we want to do. One of the things this often means for us is that

our relationship to the church becomes... well... complicated. So,

as we look forward to the glories of summer, I hope to bring some

encouragement this Sunday about what summer means to those who

follow Christ and how we can receive true rest and refreshment in

Christ this summer.
