Congratulations to our Summer Reading Contest winner, Xander McAnally! ************* Generations of Montrose women—Augusta, Victoria, Willow—have always lived together in their quaint California bungalow.

Even after we have had that encounter with the Lord, it is important that we daily go onward seeking the treasure of the Lord’s love and continue to welcome Him repeatedly more and more into our hearts and lives. With curiosity and drive we still need to continue seeking the newness of the Lord, in His Word and Sacrament, because His mercies are new every morning and are always making the realities of life new. See I make all things new (Isaiah 48:18-19, Rev 21:5).
