Sketches for September

As we anticipate the varied colors and whirling winds of autumn, here are a few notes of summer news and fall expectations:

Our thoughts and prayers are with Linda, our wonderful secretary. At this writing she is awaiting word from possible bone marrow donors. Mary Lou has been faithfully filling in with essential office needs, and Susan has helped prepare
Crossroads.

  • An exciting and soul-refreshing one-day retreat, Walking Humbly With Our God, is planned for Saturday, September 29. See the article in this Crossroads
  • Window-installers are at this moment putting in long-awaited new windows for the sanctuary, atrium and offices. The Capital Reserve Fund and a special donation are making this possible
  • Many thanks to the volunteers who kept our worship lively during summer, and provided regular children’s activities through “Summer Celebrations.”
  • Likewise, to our Farmer Dave volunteers while Jane visited in Denmark – Mary Lou, Kathleen, Peggy, Judy; and those who delivered the leftover produce to the pantry and senior center – Joseph, Joan and Linda.
  • And to Hospitality members, especially Sally, for one of the best-attended and exuberant church picnics ever!

  • Movie fans enjoyed 5 features as part of our Friday Night at the Movies series, looking for the presence of grace in a variety of thoughtful and entertaining films
  • Despite the early summer heat, a crowd of close to 60 (many from outside our church family) responded enthusiastically to Celtic harpist Patrick Ball in late June
  • This is just a smattering of what’s been happening, and what is on the way. Please note the
    additional news on the front page and calendar of this Crossroads, and join in for the start of
    a new season.

    By the way – please keep your offerings up-to-date and consider an extra gift. Our
    stewardship has fallen behind a little more than usual over this summer.

    Peace,

    Rod

    At the Presbyterian church, we are dreamers and doubters, seekers and believers. We don't have all the answers, but we're on a journey together trying to follow Jesus Christ. We'd be glad if you'd come with us.
