Wow, can you believe that it is the beginning of June?  The summer is upon us, and we plan to carry on all of our programs throughout the summer months. We realize that some of our members and friends will be on vacation during this period, but it still seems wise to go forward with all of our programs. Perhaps, we can even expand some of our programs during the summer months. For example, I would like to see a progam or programs for children here at the church during the summer months. Maybe it is too late to do that this year, but it is something that would be good outreach for the future.

 

The coordinators for sunday services for the summer months will be Charles and Janet Wymann, Gary Clark, Jeanne Akerley, and Dorothy Vanderpool. In talking with Charles, he tells me that they have a number of speakers lined up for the summer months on Sundays when I am not speaking. Currently, I am planning on speaking every other Sunday during the summer except in August. Then, I will speak the first two Sundays and will take the last two weeks of August as vacation weeks. If you have any input for the summer services, please contact one of the committee members that I have listed above.

 

Thinking back to some recent services, I am so pleased with the service on May 18 when our accompanist, Jason McNally, spoke.  We all have known what a wonderful accompanist he is, and we now know that he is also a good speaker.  It was a delight to hear him talk about Beethoven, and to hear Jason play some of Beethoven's wonderful music. Attendance at the service was excellent. Bravo, Jason!

Anyway, that is about it as we look forward to the summer months.  In this regard, I would like to urge all of you to keep coming to Sunday services during the hot summer months.  We have a/c, and the entire church is comfortable even on the hottest days.  Also, I would encourage you to continue supporting all the other programs and activities of UUCVH during the summer months and throughout the entire year.

 

Blessed Be. Rev. Jim
