We are staying in Whitefish, Montana tonight and tomorrow night as we explore Glacier National Park. My family visited Glacier in 1976 and I remember the beauty of what we will see once again tomorrow. We will travel along Going to the Sun Highway, a 50 mile journey, one way, and hike to a glacier or two. My mother is doing well, and what a blessing it is to enjoy her motherly hospitality once again! We worshipped with her on Sunday, at her church, Grand Avenue Christian Church, part of the Disciples of Christ. I will preach there on July 14. The book I am reading has been a great background as I listen to others preach and I am discerning a new system/schedule of study for when I return home. The discovery readings continue to keep me in touch with the church's study of Acts.
My focus continues to be on deepening my pastoral gifts and exploring how I can enhance my pastoral care, and I am learning much from my visits to other churches. My absence from St. John's continues to be felt as I miss familiar faces and friendly conversations! I pray that The Lord has continued to bless the ministry of our church.
