Summer has arrived!  School is out!  It’s time to “recalibrate our rhythms” and enjoy some rest and relaxation.  Women’s Ministries is doing the same – taking a breather to prepare for an exciting year of growth (and fun) beginning in September.

While you are enjoying these refreshing days of our New England summer:
Stroll through Psalms – ponder one or two a day and be amazed at how He will speak to your heart!
 
Some great “reads:”   The Reason for God by Timothy Keller
                                 10 – 10 – 10 by Suzy Welch
                                 Radical Gratitude by Ellen Vaughn
                                             
Happy Summer!
