Earlier in the summer, the family ministry department at UPC sent out their weekly newsletter and asked families to respond saying what their favorite type of ice cream is when an ice cream truck comes by. I emailed back with a response but did not really think they would follow through with anything, but they did!! And yesterday, we got our own ice cream delivery from Phil Lewis, the new high school ministry director at UPC. We loved meeting him in person (as we had met on Zoom and I've emailed him a bunch this summer), and so many neighbors came by to meet him as well who have kids in high school. It did not hurt that we had a box of ice cream sandwiches to share too!
"Praying for God's sustaining hand to hold you all as you close out this summer season and enter a new school year with uncertainty, newness, and some anxiety. I am reminded repeatedly in this season of the name they called Jesus "Emmanuel; God with us". God with us in our anxiety, God with us in the gaps, God with us in our grief, God with us in our joy, God with us in our laments, God with us in our celebrations. May we take hold and remember that God is with us on this journey of faith and life."
