How can we pray for you? We are here to pray with and for you, anytime! Prayer needs sent by early Monday morning will be included in the weekly Joys & Concerns email. We are also glad to send out prayer requests and praise reports anytime throughout the week! | Encouragement Thank you to Marcia Kreps for sharing and Darla Smith for writing these weekly bits of encouragement. "Bless the Lord! He is so good to us. I am excited about what God is doing in our lives. His mercies are new every morning, no matter if we are deserving of it or not. He Loves Us!" "The Word God gave me this week is “RESTORE.” I was curious so I looked it up and “restore” appears 136 times in the Bible. Sounds like it is an important word to share! “Restore” is to return to former condition. If your computer is not working properly, you can do a “restore” on your computer and it will go back to a previous date that it was working. If you have an old car, you can “restore” it to new condition for some $$$$. What is in our lives today that needs a “restore?” I prayed that God would show me anything that I need to do a “restore” on. Search my heart, God, and if there is anything that I need to “restore,” please show me by the Holy Spirit. Possibly we have a relationship with a loved one or friend that would need a “restore?” Maybe our relationship with God needs a “restore?” Our mindset may need a “restore” as well. Clear our minds with a good “restore.” Sometimes we may get clouded in our thinking with things that really do not matter. We need to clear out the junk and do a “restore.” Let us “restore” our love for God that, no matter what comes our way, we show love, speak love, live love. I pray we all do a “restore” this week and be renewed from on high with God’s love. Be blessed!" And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God in Christ forgave you. ~ Ephesians 4:32 (NKJV) | June Worship ~ Online & In-Person Pastor Mike Hileman ~ Sundays at 11:00am

We talked about Goodness Grows, visited with friends, petted some amazing dogs, and enjoyed dancing with Dustin. It was a nice small town summer day! The rain on Monday kept us mostly inside, so we cleaned in the greenhouse, took care of plants, and made jam. The rest of the week we've spent the majority of our time out in the back gardens and fields, weeding and tilling. It is incredible how fast weeds grow! Today is the first day of CSA share pick-up and we are pretty excited. We think we have an awesome share and we can't wait for everyone to come pick it up. We have fourteen families subscribing this year - eight weekly and six bi-weekly. We appreciate every one of them!! GG will be set up in the Great Room every Thursday, now through September 23, eager to pass out shares. |  Dancing with Dustin! |  Cleaning Broccoli for CSA. |  First CSA Day! | | | Jungle Jam & Juicy Jam Goodness Grows Jungle Jam and Juicy Jam are available in several flavors at
