Joys:

+ We shared the photo of Todd the Bear at the Glenville UMC (thanks to Photoshop)! Our church was part of the flurry of Facebook posts depicting Todd all around the area.

+ Belinda A. shared the news that Pastor Charles is a candidate for Albert Lea city council from Ward 4.

+ Korla K. is blessed to share that she tried raw asparagus for the first time from their garden (after running over it with the lawnmower) and loved it!

+ Pastor Charles was happy to report that our blog has recorded it's 2,500th "hit."

+ Belinda A. is looking forward to leading a United Women in Faith retreat on Tuesday at Normandale Hyland UMC. And she is looking forward to the gathering

Concerns:

+ Cheryl R. asks for prayers for those working outdoors in the summer heat.
