Friends,
When I was a child, I spent time on Grandfather’s farm every summer. I loved to watch the horses, feed the pigs and chase the chickens. I wandered the fields and swam in the Susquehanna river. It was a great time of freedom and fun.
Once a week we took milk to the processing plant. We went by horse and wagon.
Early in the morning my Grandfather (and later Uncle Alvin) would load the milk, hitch up the horses, bring them to the kitchen, and give them feed bags of grain. Then he would come inside for a cup of coffee before heading out. It was a short break for all concerned before the trip began.
Labor Day is over, the summer is almost gone. Our break is over and it is time to begin the season’s journey. Sunday school will start again on September 19th with an exciting service of Baptism and Commissioning our new Confirmation class. We will also hold a luncheon with an old fashioned Rally Day. Committees of RMPC will have tables to help the congregation understand their particular tasks. We look forward to having some sort of presence from each group that helps make this congregation work.
We also look forward to seeing you!
During summer it can be difficult to attend worship regularly. There are so many distractions, trips, and so few summer weekends. Now, at summer’s end, we ask you to “hitch up” and enjoy the beginning of a great church year. There are new things happening every day. Worship includes something special every week. Rally Day on Kumbak Sunday is the prefect time to refresh good habits. See you in church!
