Ministry Highlights:
* Thursday night Worship Practice (& Sunday Morning Worship Leading): We have had two new leaders within the past two months and this has been quite the transition. Our current leader has done an excellent job of focusing our hearts on the TRUE reason for worship. There are still several "holes" to be filled, as we said goodbye to 9 of our 13 on our worship team.
* Friday night ministry at the Hospitality House: We are currently studying different religions of the world and it has been a brilliant time of study as we learn the general concepts of these religions and how to engage them with the Gospel of Christ. Tonight we will study "Wicca", a religion that has taken a great hold in our community.
* I have really been enjoying my new role with Cadence in Design & Media. I design newsletters for all the Cadence missionaries (who do not often have time to do that on their own). This has given me a new-found love for the heart of the mission of Cadence International. I look forward to sharing more stories about this in future updates!
* Cadence is in the process of building a new website, as well as, discussing ways to better incorporate social media into reaching our military around the world.
* Kyle has had several men reaching out to him as they wrestle with personal and work issues.
Activities:
* A group of 20-30's are going on a special trip on the Rhine River this Saturday. It includes dinner on a boat while enjoying a firework show over the river. We anticipate good opportunities for discussion.
* We have had one "goodbye" event this last week and will have one more each week of July.
* In August, Kyle and I will be heading to Denver for a week of training at Cadence Headquarters.
Prayer Concerns:
* For those who are PCSing (transferring to new bases): Erica, Millie, Marlowe family (our current chaplains), and the Settle Family. They are all leaving during July.
* Please pray for the "holes" that are left by those who are PCSing. We anticipate a new Chaplain this fall, which is always a huge change for the chapel community.
* When we say "goodbye" often, it is easy to become hardened and not be open to new relationships. Please pray that our community will have open arms and learn to embrace all those new arrivals in our area.
* Please pray for Kyle as he embraces several of these men who have reached out to him. Also, please pray for him in his role in the Air Force.
* Personal health: Although my health seems to be improving (taken off several medications), there are new complications as I was diagnosed with (very mild) diabetes. I am adjusting to daily insulin injections and all the implications of that.
