Dear Congregations,

At last! Summer is here! And the better weather is making everybody smile.

At the church our summer started with our trip to Silver Sands Beach. We had a lovely picnic, and the day was filled with fun, games, laughter, and even a paddle in the sea!

My own family holiday starts on the 4^th of July, when my 3 boys and I will be going to South Africa. We will return on the 3^rd of August, and we are looking forward to spending time with family and friends. It might be winter in South Africa in July – but I won’t be surprised if it’s going to warmer there than here! We’ll be back just in time for the Holiday Club, which is yet another highlight to look forward too.

Whether you are going away on an exciting adventure, or staying at home to enjoy the lovely long summer’s days, please remember one thing:

God never goes on holiday.

He takes care of us wherever we are, and he never stops doing that. So let’s praise him, not only for giving us this special summer time to take a break from our normal routine, but also for loving us every minute of every day…

I hope that all of you will have a lovely summer and that the sun will shine brightly on you every day. 

May God bless you all,

Nanda
