Trinity Pines Retreat Center, overlooking the beautiful Payette River on the outskirts of Cascade, was again the venue where over 200 Linder congregation members spent the weekend together at our third annual church retreat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMXEputF4vk&list=PLdvqqv4DMyl5EawO3JCxT9Dp4NdHMpOcZ The theme for our retreat was “Rooted in Outreach”, based on Romans 10:13-15.  The purpose of the retreat was to rest in God and reflect on our relationships with him and one another, focusing on building stronger relationships rooted in fellowship, edification, encouragement and fun in a relaxing setting. The free time activities included opportunities to play team sports such as soccer, volleyball, wiffle ball, and other lawn games like cornhole.  Other activities to be enjoyed were zip lines, swings, biking and hiking on paths, which crisscrossed the property.  Indoor activities included checkers, cards, foosball,…

Linder Road sent a team of 27 people, including several of our teens, to Guatemala to serve and encourage the Christians, the community, and our missionaries working there. For many team members, this was their first time on a service mission out of the country or in a third-world country. The vignettes in the above video explore the teens' impressions of being in another culture, communicating with speakers of another language, and serving others in ways that stretch their abilities.   https://www.youtube.com/live/B4P-Ip4g5Zs As we traveled through Guatemala, met people we had never known and worked in places doing things we may never have done before, we were confronted with the reality that the mission was not about us or what we thought should happen. The mission was about how God was…

“The Ninth Day of August It was the ninth day of August.  My Dad could not remember the exact year, only that it was before 1953 – the year that he graduated from high school.  But the day and the month have been etched in his memory for a long time.  Dad recounted the events of that difficult day to the Wednesday morning Bible class yesterday, which was also his 89th birthday. Dad’s Dad was a cotton farmer in West Texas.  For those familiar with the dry climate of West Texas, growing anything on a farm out there can be challenging.  Farming was and is a difficult way of life.  My Dad said that his father would borrow money every year to make it through the growing season.  Then when the cotton…
