The Board of Stewards met for the June meeting. It was marvelous to see everyone in person for the first time in months. Thanks be to God for this blessing. After the preliminary admin duties, Valerie Slade provided the financial update.

Mission Week Daily Summary 

Day 1: Our work at the food bank was fruitful. Along with all the volunteers we sorted over 11,000 pounds of food. That comes out to about 8,900 meals!

The halls of AHUMC have been alive with singing, dancing and the joy of children laughing this week during our annual Summer Sounds Music Camp.  We have used the arts to explore our RISE UP! Theme. Sixty-Three students have met each morning to rotate through classes of singing, creative movement, handbells, art, Orff Instruments and drumming.   This week has reminded students and camp staff that we can do all things by the power of Christ who gives us strength, even amidst the crazy past year.

It has been a privilege and honor to work alongside the AHUMC community for the past 37 years. Roger and I have been loved well by this congregation. You have shaped us and our children through your encouragement and authentic interest in our lives.
