There is so much to tell you about this week! Don't miss out on the opportunities to get engaged in our community and with the world.
There will be fireworks displays! Check out the schedules here. We are continuing to be creative: Carmel is having three locations with 20 minutes shows each. Independence Day is usually celebrated with parades, fireworks, speeches, concerts, picnics, bar-be-cues, etc. Growing up, we would get a Bomb Pop as a treat on the 4th of July and get to play with sparklers! Check out the site below to learn more about what makes sparklers sparkle. This is a year to create new traditions: put on your red, white and blue. Celebrate!

COVID-19 Indiana
😷 “Mask up, it’s cool!” says Governor Holcomb.
Really cool is a mask out of Japan that connects to Bluetooth and can amplify, text and translate into seven languages and will cost less that $40.00! Read more about it Forbes.
Indiana state leadership has decided not to move forward in opening the state this weekend. We continue to hold steady, they are keeping an eye on the states around us and our numbers aren’t quite there for the state to open the rest of the way. That being said, you can dine-in restaurants and go bowling. Kid sports are starting back up. Be sure to wash your hands, keep yourself six feet from others, clean touched surfaces, and wear your mask.
International Bible Study: Tuesdays, 9:30, Zoom.
We learned a lot about marriage, life after death. Sadducees (who did not believe that people’s souls would be joined with their physical bodies after the world ends and who, by the way are defunct). This is quite a fun story to read. People attempt to trick Jesus and once again he subverts the argument.
July 7: We will talk about the greatest commandment! Mark 12:28-34. What does God demand?
International Friends: Tuesdays, 10:30, Zoom.
We went over the Dad Jokes in the link posted last week. When you read these aloud, you may understand them better because they are a play on words.
July 7: Come and share what you did over the weekend.
Conversation: Wednesdays, 4:30, Zoom.
We talked about so many things! We talked about whether American hairdressers could cut Asian hair (check out C.K. Designs), our preferred way to prepare pork belly (Chinese/Taiwanese or Filipino style...or both?).
July 8: Join us. We can set an agenda, but we never stick to it!

Sparklers are fun, but what is the chemistry that makes all that sparkle happen? Let's take a trip to the UK to find out...After all, just because we have our independence doesn't mean we can't use their English!

aren’t quite there: statistics do not match the necessary goals
people's: referring to something belonging to people as a group
soul: spiritual or not physical part of a person that is considered to be immortal

subvert: undermine authority
play on words: using words in a way to amuse us or make us laugh
