Since moving to Illinois a year and a half ago, I’ve made several visits to #Chicago. Each time I was impressed by the city’s beauty and friendliness.

This Sunday I begin preaching on the scriptures & themes from the curriculum we use at @campwalterscott.bsky.social I do this every year. It helps me prepare for camp, & my congregation loves the way it helps them feel connected to the experiences that await our campers. A win-win!
