The summer break is almost over and all the children will be going
back to school soon. As a child, I used to love those summer
breaks. Back in those days we didn't go back to school until
September and the month of August was a time of fun and fishing.
Nevertheless the beginning of school was also a time of mixed
emotions as there was a hint of excitement mixed with the dread
and sorrow of summer coming to an end.
As a high school student the idea of summer breaks disappearing
becomes a reality and as an adult you tend to appreciate those
days you had back then. Now as a pastor, I have grown to
appreciate the return of school for several reasons. Usually
the return of school means the return of adult programming in the
church and in the eyes of some it means the return to church.
As we move into fall we are getting ready at the church for the
return of Wednesday Night Suppers and Wednesday night programming.
Our first Wednesday Night Supper will be on August 13th.
Following Supper on that night we will move into the sanctuary for
a town hall type meeting. I would appreciate everyone making
it out to this meeting even if you don't typically come to
Wednesday night activities. This will be a time when you can
share your thoughts, hopes, dreams, and visions about different
aspects of our church life. The following week on August
20th, the different classes will begin. I hope you can find
one that meets your need at this time in your relationship with
God. All of our class offerings are listed on the inside of
the August newsletter and on the first page of the website..
When you find the one that you want to attend and it requires
registration, please call the church office and register so that
we can have books or materials for everyone.
