No lesson this week (June 1st week)

Dear friends,

I wanted to reach out personally to let you know that there will not be a weekly lesson blog or talk this coming week for May 31st week.

We are working through a challenge at home that requires my full attention and some quiet, prayerful work. I am so grateful for the understanding and support of this community, and I trust that God's care is present and active — as it always is.

I look forward to being back with you the following week, refreshed and ready to continue our study together.

Thank you for your patience and your prayers.

With love,
Kathy Merrill
