Tuesday at mt top: the official start of the monsoon

The monsoon season has set in here at mountain top. Heavy rains and strong gusts brought excitement to our evening including knocking the power out for a few hours. All has been restored and a welcomed coolness has settled in.

For service project, today was day one of peoples two-day projects. YRG's are painting houses, building sheds, painting interiors, building fences, and other projects. They will be finished up tomorrow.

Day camp spent the morning out in the counties doing small service projects with their "fish schools" of day campers. Some groups went to a nursing home, others cleaned public spaces, and some worked in local thrifts stores helping them sort clothing and whatnot. There were lots of other projects going on too I just can't remember them right now.

Tonight at worship we did station rotation. A meaningful day indeed. The spirit of the mountain is moving through the group. It's really great to hear all of the stories about the connections people are making.

Grace and peace,

Phil
