Many thanks to the "PKs" of Winter Park Presbyterian Church who set up Chadbourn Hall for Worship and a special time of Fellowship tomorrow. Our 10am worship service will be in Chadbourn. We will have a time of lemonade and cake fellowship after worship! Please join us.

(In case you don't know. "PK" stands for "Preacher's Kid(s)". They were good sports about it.

WPPC's Ukulele Choir volunteered at a Girl Scout event this morning sharing some of our favorite fun Ukulele songs and teaching the basics of playing the "uke." We had two groups of 30 kids - we had to take the whole of our church Ukulele collection (and that of a couple families). We had quite a bit of fun! If you want to learn Ukulele - or pick up some new skills, our annual Ukulele camp will be this August 16th, 18th, and 20th. It is for all ages. See our church website for more information!

Last Friday our week at the Montreat Youth Conference concluded with the traditional candlelight worship around Lake Susan. Our group happened to be placed on the bridge on the north side of the lake. There we had the best view of the service that I have ever seen. It was truly a week of blessing. Thank you to all of you who prayed for and worked so that our little group could go!

In Montreat we've been reflecting on scripture passages where God has a plan for us, a calling for us, and a no-matter-what love for us. What is God's calling for you? God bless and keep you all!

Greetings from the Montreat Youth Conference! This week's theme is "Wonder and Wander" - and the reminder to wonder and be in awe of God's majesty and wonder, the depth of the love we encounter in Christ, and the beauty of God's creation is important. God Bless! Emile
