A word from Senior Pastor, Rev. Brock Bomkamp

Dear Church Family,

As we step into the warmth of June, I am reminded of the unique beauty that summer brings to our community. The days grow longer, the sun shines brighter, and the world seems to come alive with new energy and hope. Summer is a season of growth—not just for our gardens and
fields, but for our spirits as well.

This month, I've been reflecting on the words of Ecclesiastes 3:1—"To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven."
Just as God has ordained the changing of the seasons, He invites us to embrace the rhythms of life He has set before us. Summer is a time to slow down, savor the beauty around us, and nurture the seeds of faith in our hearts. Whether you find yourself traveling, spending time with family, or simply enjoying a quiet evening on the porch, I encourage you to look for God's presence in the everyday moments.

Let's use this season to rest in God's goodness, to reconnect with Him in prayer, and to share His love with those around us. May we all find time to be refreshed—body, mind, and spirit.

On a personal note, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each of you for the incredible support and grace you've shown my family during my recent paternity leave. The past four weeks have been a precious gift, allowing me to be fully present with Claire, our adventurous 2.5-year-old Jessa, and our newest blessing, baby Briella. These early days together as a family of four have been filled with joy, laughter, and a few sleepless nights—and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Thank you for your prayers, your understanding, and your encouragement. Your love has made this special time possible, and I return to ministry with a renewed heart and deep appreciation for this church family.

As we journey through this summer together, let's continue to seek God's purpose in every season. I look forward to seeing you in worship, fellowship, and service in the weeks ahead.

With love and gratitude,
Pastor Brock
