WELCOME

Hello, Summer!

‘Tis the season of ice cream, road trips, and being outdoors. With any luck, you may also find some rest and relaxation in this season of endless possibilities. At Lord of Life, we are well into summer programming filling the days of countless youth and encouraging them to find God in their everyday lives through service, song, prayer, and so much more! We hope that you, too, get to experience vibrant moments of faith in these sunny days.

In this Compass, Pastor Karen Wight Hoogheem invites us to consider intentional contemplative practices as we reset and refresh during the summer months. You’ll learn more about Jesus’ own prayer practices and when he took time to pray. Pastor Peter Geisendorfer-Lindgren and David Frank offer summertime book reviews. You’ll hear more about the summer project building another tiny house for Settled’s Sacred Settlements.

You are also invited to a fun summer outdoor worship service July 23 at 10am! All our Sunday morning services will be combined into one worship service in Lord of Life’s backyard! Bring your chairs and neighbors for a great morning in God’s creation, complete with some tasty treats afterwards. (More details on Page 16.)

Blessings as the long summer days lead into cool summer nights!
