In no particular order we are looking for new members of the Choir, the Altar Guild and the Acolytes. We also need folks to sign up for Fellowship Hour and to pick a Sunday to give flowers for the Altar in memory or thanksgiving for someone or an event. Don't wait to be asked, simply speak to Bryon Grohman for the choir, Mark Auer for Acolytes, or the Rector for Altar Guild. Sign up sheets for Fellowship Hour and Flower Memorials are found in the Lawrence Room and the back of the church respectively. I've been preaching for years about the value of a good night's sleep, and the danger of overscheduling and overextension.
Some people have no choice but to work too hard and too long and to sleep too little.
But sleep and Sabbath time are crucial. We need time to reflect and time to restore our souls and bodies in order to live well. Sleep deprivation has moral and spiritual costs as well as physical and social ones. If we don't sleep long enough to dream, we close down one channel of God's communication with us. In the longer term, the child's education may be compromised if she isn't fully awake and well rested.
