MESSAGE FROM
THE REV. MARY CATHERINE ENOCKSONSchool is out for summer and many of your calendars are filled with exciting trips, and adventures. Getaways to the beach or the mountains, visits with family and friends around the country, participation in various camps as campers, athletes, musicians and volunteers… Summer jobs will also quickly take up their stake in your time and day to day lives over the next few months. Soon, the three months of freedom from school and books will be so booked up that you might not even think to take the time to breathe, relax, enjoy the sun, enjoy the beauty of all that surrounds you, enjoy the opportunity and the freedom to be out in the world every day.
As the summer and the plans for it begin to take hold of your life and time, I encourage you to encounter each day with an awareness that God is present in the midst of all that you are doing. Ask yourself—where do I see God at work in my life? What am I doing to reflect the love of Christ each day this summer? No matter where you are, or what you are up to, you can be a bright and shining reflection of the SON in the world! Have a great summer! And share your stories and adventures along the way!
