Yesterday was a great day at church. We were running summer numbers - 37 (27 adults/10 kids). However, we had several really cool things. For one, a lot of our "regular attenders" were out and most of the crowd were "newer" faces. In fact, of the 27 that were there, only 8 were with us before the first of the year and 18 have only been coming since the first of march. I think it will be exciting in a couple of months when school starts and people become more regular.

Also, several of these "newbies" are getting involved and helping out. In fact, we had a "band" yesterday for the first time. It was just a guy playing bass guitar, but it was still a big step forward. I asked for volunteers to help with an outreach we're starting and had 5 volunteers. It's good to have people who are getting involved and serving.

Please pray for:

- Our continuing efforts to reach new people over the summer.
- The mission team that will be coming July 7-13.
- The block parties on July 11 and 12.
- Relationships to continue developing among those who are attending.
