Let's see....just where IS a good beginning? 😉 It has been awhile, so there's a lot of catching up to do.
Do I begin with the United Methodist Women Mission u event in July? I was a class leader and was blessed by the presence of some amazing United Methodist Women in my class!
This altar display in our main worship gathering location holds special meaning.
Do I mention the continuation of our #HappyReadingBC on Twitter as we discussed our most recent choice?
This first novel by Louise Penny has kindled interest to read others she has written! Of course, it is becoming a tradition to have that hot fudge sauce (introduced by Bronwyn in North of Supposed to Be, last month's book) available for enjoyment while we post our comments on our current selection.
So very easy to make with the microwave!
Or - do I mention the fact that this very day is the first day of school for students in our local school system?
There have been several events leading up to this particular day, one being a luncheon served by my church to the complete staffs of two schools that are located near our church.
The tables were covered with black and wonderful positive descriptors were written on the labels at each place. An extra surprise was the Chick-Fil-A gift card that was taped to the back of each one!
Chicken and ham sandwiches were added to the table at serving time, and bowls of potato salad, Watergate salad, and potato chips were available. In the background, you are able to catch a glimpse of some supplies which were also provided for the teachers. The following picture will give you a better idea.
Each of the two schools took dry erase markers, hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes, and tissues with them. These were the four items that appeared most often on wish lists from each school.
So, we definitely send wishes for a good beginning to this school year for all the students and teachers!
