After our Veterans Day program this year, I was sitting in my office when one of our members stopped in. I didn't know him well. He stood there and cried. He told me about friends he'd lost many years ago and about some of the vivid memories that still live inside of him. I'll never forget what he shared with me, and his pain as he said it. It hit me in a visceral, gut level way.

I'm thinking about him today.

So many people are living right around us, having been through trauma most of us can't begin to imagine. My grandpas never talked about what they'd seen in war. That silence- the stories that they couldn't tell- spoke volumes.

To every veteran, every Gold Star family, everyone carrying grief and trauma that others can't see- this is for you:

God is not distant from your pain. He physically lived it. He took on flesh, walked this broken world, and wept at the grave of a friend. He knows what it is to watch someone you love die. He knows the weight of trauma, of loss, of a world that is irreparably broken.

That same God makes you a promise. He sits with you in your grief and pain. He sees all of it. And faithfully, steadfastly, quietly gives you hope. He promises healing and a true home where there is no more war, no more grief, no more wounds that won't heal.

His mercies are new today and every day.

If you're carrying something heavy, Salem has a place for you. Our Heroes Coffee Club is a small group — veterans, friends, and family — who meet together, share stories, and just exist in a safe space. Join us for the next meeting June 2 around 9:30 for coffee and donuts. No agenda. No pressure. Just community.

I, the Lord, will bless and keep you, and give you peace.
I, the Lord, will smile upon you, and give you peace.
I, the Lord, will be your Father, Savior, Comforter, and Brother.
Go my children, I will keep you and give you peace!

Whether you've graduated, are coming back in the fall, or are headed to a new school, Salem will always be here for you.

Happy Last Day of Preschool and Happy Penultimate Day of School to everyone else!

Today we celebrate the year we've had: all that we've learned and accomplished, the friendships which have been made and strengthened and the lessons we've endured and grown from...and we praise God for all of it!

Our Graduation Service will be held this evening (Thursday, May 21st) at 5:30pm in the sanctuary. We extend a huge congrats to all of our graduates who will be moving on to high school in the fall! Please remember, students in K-8th grade will be singing at the service.

Afterwards, we'll have dinner for everyone and awards night to celebrate!

Five more days of structure before absolute chaos (I mean, joy). 😉☀️ Swipe through the countdown. And if you need recommendations for noise-cancelling headphones, our veteran parents have you covered.

Your kids grew in knowledge, in inches, and in faith this year. What a gift from God!
