"Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer"
Every summer my family would load up in the station wagon and head to Jekyll Island for time at the beach. Those summer days still linger in my mind as the perfect vacation: days on the beach, playing in the sand, riding the waves on those cheap plastic floats. Each morning my mom would slip away before the rest of us got up and walk the beach. We’d complain that she went without us, but she’d smile and say, “If you want to come you’ll have to get yourself up.” I know she cherished those quiet morning walks with the waves gently rolling at her ankles. These are some of my best summer memories.
We started the summer with a wonderful time at Vacation Bible School full of stories, crafts, and activities. Thanks to Gina Hagan who coordinated our VBS and to all of you who donated your time and talent and presence to make certain 70+ children had memorable times. At the end of June we also hosted GROW camp, an experiential, hands-on camp with counsellors from Camp Glisson. Each day when we arrived, we were not certain whether we’d find kids hanging from trees or making (pretend) campfires in the parking lot. I’m not certain if the campers or the counsellors enjoyed it more. Our youth experienced a great time away of fellowship and spiritual growth at Lake Juneluska, in North Carolina with Leigh Linn our Youth Director…and Terrific Tuesdays at 10 are on the horizon for July. We do children’s ministry well at CFUMC because of your help.
As you enjoy vacation this summer with your family, whether it's the beach, the mountains, or the lake, be safe and make memories that will last. This means putting down the cell phone and spending face time with your family playing games or making sand castles. You can never get this time back in their lives, so cherish every moment.
And please, remember your church family needs your prayers and your financial support for our ministries even during the summer. We’re still here in Commerce continuing the good ministry of our church while you are enjoying this great time away.
Have a safe and fun summer,
Pastor Kathy
