Come out to Delano Park on Sunday at 5:30 for some ice cream sundaes as we prepare for a new season of worship! It is always fun to eat ice cream with friends and watch the children play.

And now, think about this:

Only when we have come in touch with our own life experiences and have learned to listen to our inner cravings for liberation and new life can we realize that Jesus did not just speak, but that he reached out to us in our most personal needs. The Gospel doesn't just contain ideas worth remembering. It is a message responding to our individual human condition. the Church is not an institution forcing us to follow its rules. It is a community of people inviting us to still our hunger and thirst at its tables. - From Reaching Out by Henri J. M. Nouwen
