Those of you who read my blog in February (check it out here) know that our adult ministry team has grown. The team of me, myself, and I became Erika and me in August of last year, and with this expansion has come more POWER, more brainpower, and, of course, more (wo)manpower. As we wrote our goals at the end of last year, I believe Erika and I both sensed that 2026 would bring new experiences and learning opportunities; however, I don't believe either of us envisioned that expanding both our ESL and Citizenship programs in the same trimester would be a "thing".

You know that moment when you see a loved one, donned in their cap and gown, walking with pride as they step across the graduation stage? They're filled with joy as they're recognized for years of hard work, while also looking ahead with excitement for what’s to come.

When you hear the phrase "spending time with God," what comes to mind? For a while, for me, it meant sitting down with a Bible and journal each morning, but it doesn't look like that for everyone. For others, it's a prayer walk, listening to worship music, serving others, or finding a few quiet moments in the middle of a busy day. These practices may look different, but they all have something in common: they create space for us to connect with God.

It’s that time again, our Summer Interns have arrived! I am so excited to introduce you all to this year’s Summer Interns. In previous years, we’ve had smaller groups, but this year we’ve expanded to seven interns! That might not seem like a lot, but for us, it’s huge!

Our interns this summer are Elian, Julissa, Blake, Anjali, Unisha, Katalina, and Ramiro!
