I am praying for a beautiful "hot" summer. I want a summer hot enough to make me celebrate when fall comes. We didn't get that last year. My garden wasn't good last year either. This year is a new time to celebrate and get going on summer. I've already purchased onion sets, seed packets for peas, green beans and flowers, flowers, flowers. It must be the farmer in me. I love to dig in the dirt.

Along with planning for summer your WELCA Board met and set a few dates for our ladies picnics. Our picnic at the pavilion will be on June 15 beginning at 5:00 pm. We will be playing bingo and we will have a white elephant gift passing. Please put this on your calendar and plan to bring a dish to pass along with your white elephant gift and enjoy great fellowship.

The next gathering will be on July 13 beginning at 5:00 pm at Charlies Ice Cream Parlor, located on Lincoln Lake Rd between 17 and 18 Mile Rds. We welcome all ladies and their friends (whether that be husbands, sisters, daughters, cousins...) to join us for food, in my case ice cream, to be purchased at Charlies and then kick back and enjoy Nels Hansen with his musical group.

We welcome any and all who like to attend our functions. If you are a member of St. Paul you are a member of WELCA. Please always feel welcome and we will feel blessed to have you join us whenever you can.

Bible study for the summer is again being held at Connie Pflug's home. If you haven't attended before it is a MUST. June 16, July 21 and August 19 are the dates. So bring your bag lunch and meet at Connie's. Put these dates on your calendar now so you can join in the joy of Bible study with our ladies.

Blessings to all,
Connie Teddy
