THOUGHT OF THE DAY:​ ​Perspective​. My children were digging a hole in the backyard the other day. They got about 8-10 inches down and one of them said “I bet we’ll find gold down here!” When they got to an interesting looking rock, they marveled at it for a good minute and a half. That night in the tub (to wash off all the dirt, of course!) my other son said “Wow, it’s like I’m diving!” Just now my youngest heard a noise outside. “Is it a bear?” she asked. The world can be full of wonder, if we let it, even as we shelter in place.

CARD SHOWER: ​We grieve with Marion Young who has lost her youngest son, Greg, to COVID-19. Let’s see how many cards we can send? Marion’s address is: ​321 Elm Avenue Elmhurst, IL 60126. ​Don’t know what to say? It’s ok. Sometimes simple is best. “Thinking of you during your time of loss, and praying for you and your family” will mean a lot.

THESE DAYS:​ We got them fairly late, but the ​These Days
​ devotionals are ready for you to pick up at the circle drive at church.

CHALK THE WALK: ​When the weather is nice, help us leave messages of hope for our community on our circle driveway.
