Greetings JCC friends and family,
Can you believe it’s already June 1st?! 2018 is flying by. We hope and trust that this note finds all of you looking to Jesus and seeking our true treasure in a deeper relationship with God as we head into the summer months.
Thanks to all who took part in our clean up day last month. And a special thank you goes to Peter and Joyce who once again hosted us at their Hood Canal home for a wonderful day of fellowship and clam digging! Here are a few pics from that outing…
There are several dates to keep in mind for June but please take special notice of our discussion time set for Saturday morning, June 16th. We will be talking about section three of the book “Claiming Resurrection in the Dying Church” by Anna Olson. Section 3 is titled “A New Country” and will give us a chance to consider both our own history and our future. These have been great times of discussion so we encourage any and all of you to come out and join us. We begin at 9:00 a.m. with coffee and snacks!
In addition to the book we have been having ongoing discussions since the beginning of the year about our old building and various options for moving forward. Please pray for the guidance and unity of the Holy Spirit as we consider these important topics. We need everyone’s input.
