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.
Greetings,
The end of the semester
was approaching and it was
time for the end of the semester
exams prior to summer break.
A less-than-stellar student went to talk
to his instructor: “Can you tell me what score I need to get on the exam to pass the course?” the student asked.
The teacher replied, “Well, this exam is worth 100 points. You, however, would need 113 points to earn a D.”
“OK,” said the student sounding upbeat. “And how many points do I need to get a C?”
I shared that story with the church council recently and made the point that about this time every year, I get the same sense of excitement I used to feel when school was going to be out for the summer. No more homework. No more teachers. No more exams!
While it’s not summer break for us at United Church, there is no doubt things change during the summer months. Our regularly scheduled monthly meetings for the boards and church council are on hiatus, the snowbirds go north, the choir takes the summer off, and we stop fellowship time after worship from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend.
Still, while our routine changes, we don’t take a break from God. And glory be, God never takes a break from us! So, we join in the worship and praise of God each Sunday morning at 10:00 am all summer long. With the air conditioning units turned low, we stand ready to welcome everyone into our beautiful sanctuary.
Please plan to be here for worship (or check in on-line). Truly, it’s not the same without you when the people of God gather.
Peace,
Pastor Brady
P.S. And remember to stay hydrated 🥤 all summer long.
