A Gift from Lindsey


It was a joy to welcome Lindsey Elder into worship on October 12th and to receive her gifts of faith, insight, and passion. As many of you know Lindsey, a sophmore at Southern Illinois University, participated as an intern with Uncharted Waters sports ministry this summer.


With other young adults, Lindsey helped lead Vacation Church Schools and youth meetings in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, North Carolina, California and Mexico. She spoke eloquently of the hospitality she experienced in the homes of hosts along the way. It was particularly moving to hear her speak of a host in Mexico whose generous hospitality seemed to far outreach her means.


Lindsey looks forward to her studies and new opportunities for ministry. Thank you Lindsey! And, thank you all for the wonderful ways your faith leads you to encourage, uplift and sustain youth and adults as they explore their discipleship.
