This DOES NOT affect your church membership in any way. Remember, to continue receiving the Wesleyan you must reply. All responses must be received by September 15, 2001. I am also several days from beginning a two week vacation which will afford Gail and I some rest, relaxation and renewal. I pray you have also had the opportunity this summer for some vacation time.
Summer is generally a time of relaxation and vacations.
Yet at the same time, the summer months do not change the reality of life. Deaths occur, loved ones need the professional care of a nursing home, jobs are lost due to the increasing number of industry wide layoffs. Meanwhile, there are also times of joy as families and friends celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, a new marriage, the birth of a child, or graduations and other significant achievements. We are now moving into the month of September, which in the church is a time of renewal. Rally Day for our Sunday school will be held on Sunday, September 9th and it is scheduled to begin with a pancake breakfast.
