Dear Friends in Christ,
I hope this note finds you doing well in life, feeling blessed by God, and filled with a sense of hope in the presence of the Holy Spirit to keep and guide us all.
Carolyn and I enjoyed our month of May in Anchorage—she finished the year teaching and I got ready for my sabbatical. It was great to plan our time away, to finish some projects around the house, and to visit area churches to see how some of our neighbors worship.
We spent the first week of June in Montana with my family celebrating our parents’ 60th wedding anniversary (June 10th). What a blessing it was to be together and re-connect with my relatives.
We are now in the city of Philadelphia with our son Mark where we plan to celebrate some uninterrupted time with him, see some of the historical sites that are important to our country’s past, and start visiting some congregations that have been involved in faith-based organizing.
I will be sending you notes at least weekly that will be posted on our website, but I will not be responding to any e-mails. I will, however, look forward to reading your thoughts and insights that you are keeping in a journal of your sabbatical from me!
Sonia, Mark, and Rick are keeping me in the loop—know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you, especially those who are struggling.
May our God of faith, hope, and love be with you all.
In Christ,
Pastor Scott
