For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything thy goodness sends.

Thanks to the EMPs of @silverbayymca and Lutherans for a great afternoon of softball! It was a bit of a lopsided win for Lutherans thanks to superb fielding and fantastic performances at the plate with every Lutheran scoring in 2024. And most importantly, we are thankful for the fellowship shared and funds raised for @elcaworldhunger by the FANS!! #lutheransummergathering #silverbay #softball #teamspirit
