Finally, a summer prayer to keep your heart joyful!

We celebrated this weekend - Flower Festival and 130 anniversary of Christ Church Pt2.

This newsletter is full of photos of the weekend's events.

Flowers, Tea, Heartland Fans, costumes, Sunday service, reunions, and the dedication of the refurbished Sculpture Garden courtesy of the Ladies Guild.

Thank you to everyone who helped out.  So many of you gave of your time and energy to make this one of the best celebrations ever!

We have Sunday's readings for those who like to read ahead.

A vocabulary note: the scripture talks about "tares."  Tares are weeds, and yes, I have weed jokes in the Funny Bones Section.

Enjoy and have a blessed week!
