A Letter From The Pastor BY RICK WILLIAMS

Dear Church family and friends,

Summer is the time of year many of us cherish. We love the longer days, the warmer temperatures, the slower pace, and family vacations. It's a season that often comes with its own musical backdrop. We tend to select a summer playlist filled with our favorite tunes from years gone by. Some may include country melodies, pop anthems, beach vibes, and nostalgic tracks that are reminders of summers past. Music has a unique way of weaving its melodies into our minds and hearts. In a beautiful parallel, God, the ultimate songwriter, has His own playlist — the Psalms. These sacred songs, found in the book of Psalms, are a divine collection of prayers and hymns that have uplifted generations of His people. With 150 hymns of worship and praise, the Psalms offer a profound connection to God's love and guidance through music. This summer we will embark on a journey together through the Psalms in our sermon series, "Songs for the Summer." Just like a personal playlist, these sacred songs will uplift, fortify, and ignite inspiration within us throughout this season. I invite you to join me as we delve into and focus on these timeless songs together this summer. Let's allow the Psalms to guide our hearts and minds as we navigate the summer season ahead.

Grace and peace, Pastor Rick
