Reverend Sharon's Sharings from the Church Newsletter
From Rev. Sharon…
There are times when I love using the phrase… “God is good...all the time. All the time...God is good!” This is one of those times!
Last month I asked all of you to listen, pray, and get involved in new ways, and to get ready for God’s Good News. Well, YOU DID!! And I love you for it.
People really did earnestly pray and listen this last month. Because of those spiritual exercises, we have Sunday School classes for all ages and we officially started Sunday School on September 14! We returned to the 11:00 hour, too, so teachers could worship AND teach. And the classes allow time for the kids and youth to get goodies at Fellowship Time.
Let me list here the teachers for 2008-2009. We are using multiple teachers for all preschool and elementary classes, as well as for our Adult GYM Class which meets at 8:30 AM.
The adults, and any interested young people, continue to have GYM Class at 8:30 AM each Sunday. We start with coffee at that hour, then use the rest of the time to “stretch” our faith and “exercise” our minds. Our DVD series this year is “Living the Questions:” a look at Progressive Christianity. This will be lead by Sue York, Kathy Caruss, and Rev. Sharon.
Remember, too, that our Middle Schoolers and Senior High have their Youth Groups! God’s Gladiators (for Grades 4-8) will continue each second Sunday with Lorie Neuman as she plans fun outings. Be watching for news from her. Beth Linquist rallies the Senior High Youth Group.
I still faithfully, and unwaveringly, believe God is preparing us for new ministries that meet the needs of our congregation and our community. Let’s keep listening and praying and volunteering!
