Happy Fathers Day! Our journey through the gospel of Mark takes us to a parable about gardening - something some dads like to do (along with some moms).
What do we learn about ourselves, as spiritually fertile soil?
What do we learn about ourselves, as farmers of the Gospel seed?
Likkel's Lections:
- Psalm: Psalm: 1:1-3
- OT: Proverbs 30:7-9
- Gospel: Mark 4:1-20
- Epistle: Revelations 3:20
SUMMER PRIORITIES
These may not be your personal priorities, but this is the list in your pastor's head, in terms of priorities for Emmaus Road:
- Rest/Renewal
- Explore/Establish UP, IN, OUT rhythms for growth
- Recruit new Godly Play Storyteller (see below)
- Launch Learning w/Elders - Mike, Rennie
- Support Dan, recently transitioning into Music/Liturgy Leader
- Recruit Treasurer

Please contact Pastor Eric, or Elders Mike or Rennie, with insights or questions about this list. Stay tuned for more information.
After seven and a half years, our beloved Godly Play Storyteller, Mr. Matthew Park, is moving to Philadelphia to pursue graduate studies. Michele is also going to begin a church planting residency there. Matt's last Godly Play session will be Sunday, July 31st, but a farewell moment for Matt and Michele may be planned for Sunday, August 21st. Stay tuned!

CHURCH AVAILABLE TO COME OVER
July 3rd and August 21st are two Sundays when Emmaus Road does not have use of the Seattle School. These would be good opportunities to invite the church over for coffee and donuts, lead a prayer, and sing the Old 100th Doxology. Don't forget to invite your friends and neighbors who have always been curious about your church. If interested, speak to Pastor Eric, or Elders Mike or Rennie.
