It's amazing how our culture paints itself into summer. Of course, the summer break from school prompts much of the sentiment directed at summer. But even if you don't have kids - or specifically, school-aged kids - chances are that you merge into the summer haze with vacation or other time off. Summer is vacation. It is holiday - 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day. It's trips to the lake, the beach, and the mountains.
Most of the time, we view summer in terms of leisure. But the fact is, around the family of God, it seems that as Summer heats up, so do our calendars. The THF Youth Outfitters just finished their Summer Youth Camp. They still have Super Summer (leadership camp), mission trip, and a whole slate of weekly events coming up. The THF Children's Ministry has Vacation Bible School and XTreme Kids Kamp still to come, in addition to an already busy summer calendar. We have Men's Ministry Golf Challenge and Women's Ministry events ongoing this summer. And we haven't even talked all church fellowships, and LIFE group ministry events...
Point is, there's a lot to be a part of. There are plenty of places to explore, fit in, plant yourself, and invest. If you're already at The Heights, you know what a special place it is. If you're just introducing to The Heights, jump right in. I know there's a fit for you.
