I know, I know…we’ve been gone a lot this summer. It’s all been very special. We’ve worshipped on three different continents and had some amazing adventures. This past week Michelle, Sam and I were at the North American Christian Convention which was held in Indianapolis this year. On the weekend I spoke at a friend’s church in Kentucky.

All that traveling, from England to Kenya and in different states here in the good ole USA, has made me again appreciate what we have right here. I love our Valley!

Like many of you have experienced, vacation or business travel is fun and brings with it many special opportunities. But also, like many of you, we love getting back home.

Community is a very special place and I can’t wait to see you all again this weekend!
