A LIVING HOPE:
Fall Revival,
Great Day of Service,
and Homecoming

The meteorologists (and my experience as a Georgia boy) tell me it won’t last, but the air was cool and crisp this morning. The summer, though technically not over until deep into September, is functionally over for most of us. Much of the drama of the “back-to-school” season is now past and we are preparing for “life after Labor Day” … settling (hopefully) into the rhythms of the school-year.

Speaking of Labor Day: Please be in prayer for the young people of our church as they travel to the Whitewater Express Outpost over the holiday weekend! On Saturday they will be rafting on the Ocoee and Nantahala rivers. On Sunday they will be tackling the ropes courses at the outpost. In addition to their times of adventure, there will be times to play, to worship, and to rest. Pray for their safety, for the relationships they are building (with each other, their leaders, and with God), and for Sabbath.

This September will be an exciting month for the Salem United Methodist church family. Our FALL REVIVAL will begin on Sunday, September 11th. That morning, as we gather for worship, many of us will be thinking about that terrible morning fifteen years ago when the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon were attacked and a plane went down in a Pennsylvania field. I will have other things on my mind that morning, too; and I won’t be alone. I will be thinking about my mom. That’s her birthday.
