Church Day- FPC 9/20/20 This is the Day

This is the Day the Lord has made......Let us rejoice and Rally in It.  Yes we'll be glad and rally and meet.

11:30  Rally day at GHS- come learn all about happenings with focus on faith formation at Granville First Presbyterian Church.  All are welcome.  (This is the new date- rain date!)

6:30 PM Senior High Parent Meeting- FPC Parking Lot!  Like we attend sports and arts meetings it will be good to gather to learn and unite to support our high school students faith formation.  (This is a new time due to Rally day move.)

 I'm home from the 9 am outdoor worship- ahhhhhh- we were given kudos for being out in the "colder temps"we are not "fair weather christians".  It was beautiful and wonderful to be there and bundling up is just what you need to do. I think of all the sporting events - field hockey, football, soccer- for little kids and college...even the pros (Joe tells the story of prepared fans bringing wood for their feet in real winter temps- insulation from the cement's chill.  Thank you to all that make the Bryn Du service happen!

(BONUS- took a few minutes to take in some of the beautiful sculpture on the back lawn at Bryn Du! https://www.bryndu.com/about  And art was everywhere I looked...the barn, the parking lot...

Now watching on-line so I can listen to the beautiful harmony of Carol and Hugh- thankful to Facebook for the reminder so I could tune in.....want to hear this music AND a great sermon with important lesson about God's Grace...find the replay here: https://www.granpres.org/

The work we are doing at FPC is not easy. It is frustrating but things worth having take work and work is not easy. The not easy part is where the growth is and we are growing and evolving in COVID times, in the social network world, in the world of being pulled in so many directions.  I am called to this role and excited to be with others even when it is not easy.  In my life on Newark-Granville Road I'm grateful for Sundays- church days, catch up with Peter and Clare days, planning meals days, thinking, reading, loving and being loved days.  I hope you are feeling God's Grace today and if you are called, curious, interested, have time- join us at FPC!
