Transition, Transition, Transition
July is the month of cherries, fireflies, zucchini and
hydrangeas... fruitful, delicious, fragrant. It feels like
the transition that we’ve been planning for and nurturing
this past spring is also entering a stage of fullness.
The biggest transition at Still Waters this summer has
been leadership change. Robert and Sarah are on board working
with Delcy, and our first work intern, Joelle Chase, has
been lending invaluable support since early June.
This summer's full schedule and many new things make us
aware of our dependence on God's continued guidance and
your support and prayers - we are grateful to you, the Still
Waters community.

Giving and Receiving
Eucharisteo is the word in Greek for "thank".
It is interesting that many Christian traditions refer

Introducing Joelle
Joelle Chase is spending her summer break at Still Waters
as our first “official” work intern. She
comes to us after her first year of teaching elementary
school in eastern Montana, and is grateful for the simple,
rhythmic tasks of gardening, prayer, relating to kindred
people, and becoming reacquainted with self. We are
so grateful for her help and prayerful presence! |

Windwords Cabin Moves
Tom and Delcy are planning a move (see photos
of house plans in our March/April 2008 newsletter)!
But before they can do that, the Windwords Cabin had
to be moved. Unfortunately, it will be "out of
order" for a few months as we find and prepare
its new home on the property (see gallery
for moving photos).
Activities toward the construction of their new
abode are well under way at Still Waters, and we look
forward to welcoming a crew of over 25 experienced
Maranatha workers to help with the construction project
in October. |
