JUNE 2026 UPDATE

Dear Friends,

Summer is in full swing at the Redding house. The kids are outside from morning to night, soaking up the great weather and reminding us how fast this season of life goes.

We just got back from a two-week adventure we'd been looking forward to all year. We spent a week in Buffalo, New York, with my sister and the kids' cousins — working on the family farm, planting flowers, and getting to a Forrest Frank concert together. Having all the kids and cousins in one place was the kind of good chaos you don't trade for anything. From there we made the trip to Niagara Falls and stood at the railing as a family, soaked and grinning. I told the kids it was a real "mist"-see. They did not laugh — which, as any dad knows, means it landed perfectly.

Closer to home, we just wrapped up soccer season — all five kids on the field this spring. Paxton and our daughter Adalyn both reached their championship games, and Adalyn's team won hers in a shootout, where she scored one of the winning goals.

Now we're looking forward to a summer at home — slower mornings, full backyards, and a little time to catch our breath before the ministry year ramps back up.

Thanks for caring about our family. It means more than you know.

Gratefully,
Michael
