Welcome to the United Church of Sun City
Pastor's Post
All are welcome at United Church
each Sunday at 10 am
for the worship and praise of God.
Due to Pastor Brady
being in Iowa to be with
his mom, the following
is a newsletter article
written earlier this year
that seems applicable anytime.
I’m not much into New Year’s Resolutions, but it seems the beginning of new year (or anytime) is a perfect time to reflect on and adjust, where necessary, the way we go about our daily lives. I have a plaque that hangs by my entry door at home offering a daily reminder of good practices. These are appropriate actions every day. They follow the ABCs:
Accept Differences, Be Kind, Count Your Blessings, Dream, Express Thanks, Forgive, Give Freely, Harm No One, Imagine More, Jettison Anger, Keep Confidences, Love Truly, Master Something, Nurture Hope, Open Your Mind, Pack Lightly, Quell Rumors, Reciprocate, Seek Wisdom, Touch hearts, Understand, Value Truth, Win Graciously, Xeriscape, Yearn for Peace, Zealously Support a Cause.
There are other worthwhile actions that could be matched up with the letters of the alphabet, but this serves as a very good start.
And funny thing, while typing this list, it struck me that most of these could be done through the church (hint, hint). Maybe we should start singing the alphabet song together on Sunday mornings.
Regardless, I continue to look forward seeing you at United Church in 2025!
Peace,
Pastor Brady
P.S. Thanks for all the warm wishes, good thoughts, prayers, and messages while I was with Mom in Des Moines the first two weeks of July for her open-heart surgery and the first days of her rehab recovery. She is home and doing well.
Also, thanks for all the birthday greetings! I appreciated each one.
