Summer Solstice

For the summer months our weekly bible studies have been combined to one meeting on Fridays, back at the Evans' house. For easy identification Wes made a sign. :)


Summer is a big deal in Alaska. And a pretty big deal is made about the beginning, sure there's lots of chatter about bear activity, fishing and hiking. But daylight is a good friend and everyone here knows the whens and wheres on how to enjoy the longest day of the year! Unfortunately June 21st fell on a Monday this year, so the MCHH community celebrated on Saturday. It rained, it was cold, and the clouds hung super low. But we all still knew the daylight was out there, and would continue to be! We had a great night filled with a bonfire, hiking, "ladder ball" (which is your typical "stand in the yard this far from something and toss another thing into it" kind of game.), music, and lots of pizza. I called it a night around 11, but I think a lot of guys and gals made it to breakfast downtown sunday morning! (such enthusiasm).

This coming weekend Wes and I will leave for a week in Wisconsin. We will be attending a once-in-ten-years Cadence all staff conference at Green Lake conference center. It promises to be an encouraging time with lots of fellowship, time in God's Word and relaxing (think cadence pep-rally, but a little deeper). The following week we'll spend in Pennsylvania with family. If you're around we'd love to catch up with anyone who has a free hour or so!

Take Care,
Elaine (& Wes)

Who We Serve (a video)

One of our leaders here, Steven Adams, put together this video of testimonials for Dan and Barb Evans as they visit their home churches. It is a great look at who we serve. Please watch it and meet some of our family here in Alaska. Thanks Steven for a fantastic job.
