Summer does not always go according to plan, but sometimes the unexpected moments are where God gets our attention. Side Quest Summer is an invitation to step outside your normal routine, try something new, serve someone, go somewhere different, or finally do the thing you have been putting off.

Learn an instrument. Take a day trip. Invite someone to lunch. Help a neighbor. Read a new book. Spend time with God somewhere quiet. The goal is not to fill every moment, but to stay open to the small adventures, interruptions, and opportunities God may use to shape us.

Your side quest may seem simple, but it could become one of the most meaningful parts of your summer.
