Hope you are all enjoying this time of the year as we move from spring into summer (at least here we are:). We have had two sessions of beach volleyball (BVB) so far. We play on Thursday evenings, but must go to the park between 3-4 p.m. to claim a spot. The park fills up quickly and it's neat to see people get to 
know one another a little over a game of volleyball.

The volleyball area is big enough for six nets to be erected.Here's Pastor Dave telling me to get to work and stop posing for the camera. He showed us how to set up the home-made system.
Pastor Dave came back to Berlin to visit for two weeks. It was a great time as he encouraged us in our ministry. He was able to meet with almost all the leaders at Rock Berlin. Plus he led four leadership training sessions. Hopefully Dave was able to rest when he was back in Wisconsin.
This past weekend we had a baby dedication (Kindersegnung) which was done in German. The room was very warm and little Silas Schueler fell asleep during the ceremony.
Above is Silas with his parents, Uwe and Kathleen Schueler, and friend of the family and a RB leader, Stephi Goering. Silas is 5-6 months old. As was done in Ohio, we charged the parents and the congregation to all be a part of Silas' spiritual growth. We prayed that one day Silas will give his life to the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Recently we participated in a Chinese tea ceremony that celebrated the birthday of one of the Rock Berliners, Christina Serafy.
Much of Germany still has stone sidewalks which require a fair amount of maintenance. Here are pictures of sidewalk work.
I hope the photos give you a flavor of what we are experiencing. We thank the Lord for directing us to Berlin and we are grateful for all the Germanators.

We continue to ask the Lord to make His will known, that everything we do would further His kingdom and bring Him glory.
We are being challenged and are growing in our walk with our Lord. Being a Christ follower means that we continue to desire to be more like Christ.
Thank you for your support in all its forms: prayer, financial, and messages of encouragement.
Dieter and Lucy
