Slow down! This is both a command and a good idea! We live in a fast-paced world that doesn’t value rest. We have many recreational activities, but that’s much different than rest. We

need to relearn the spiritual commands of rest and renewal.

Over the first three weeks of August we will look at rest, solitude and Sabbath. We will especially focus on the biblical

idea of Sabbath and how we can apply it to today’s world.

I look forward to seeing you on Sunday. And I hope you can get some rest!

In Christ,

Rick Enns

“Sharing God’s Story for 125 Years”

In 1912, C.N. Harrison and his Booster Sunday school Class of about 30 boys helped build two classrooms onto the white frame church at 9th Street and 5th Avenue. A number of Methodist men helped, assisted by several

Presbyterians and one Baptist.

In 1947, the Men’s Fellowship Class accepted sponsorship of a Boy Scout Troop. To date, Boy Scout Troop 31 has produced 123 Eagle Scouts. Check out the names of these scouts printed on the scout trailer parked in the east parking

to be a part of such a generous and loving family.

With love,
