Coast to Coast

We're back!  It's good to be back on the East Coast after covering the West Coast from British Columbia to California.  It was a great vacation with the opportunity to see family, friends and beautiful scenery.  Our first stop was Portland, Oregon where I officiated at a wedding of a young man who grew up with our son David.  It was a beautiful outdoor wedding and the couple looked so young and happy!  We then headed nortth to Canada to be with my Dad, brother and sisters.
We had a few days to travel by ourselves and then visited friends from Seattle and back in Portland.  We ended the trip in California with Elisabeth's family.
We came back to beautiful weather here in NY and it was good to be back in our home, to see the staff and to get to work.
There are still a few weeks of summer, but fall is fast approaching.  Plans are underway for a wonderful and full season of worship, discipleship and service to others.  Actually, all those things never really took a vacation, did they?
See you in church.
