Guy and I are on Kiawah Island in South Carolina this week, enjoying the ocean after six years (!) of being away from it. But even though we're not due to leave until Saturday, I am mentally shaking the sand off my feet and preparing to return to Buck Mountain for a great autumn season.
On Sunday the 7th, we launch ....
* Sunday School at 10:30 for three age groups -- youngest, young (primary school), and young teens
* 5:00 p.m. worship service, brand new!
On Sunday the 14th, we launch our Youth Group for 2008-09, meeting after the 5:00 p.m. service for food, fellowship, learning, and service.
And on Wednesday the 17th, former Professor of Art and parishioner Marion Roberts starts a teaching series on art and the Christianization of Britain. (Recommended reading: How the Irish Saved Civilization). Come at 6:00 for potluck supper (you don't need to bring anything), and stay for Marion's presentation at 7:00. She is a knowledgeable and entertaining presenter, and we are very fortunate to have her as our teacher.
Oh yes, and in October, parishioner Bill Johnsons, newly certified as a mentor for Education for Ministry (EfM), will launch an EfM group at Buck Mountain Church. This is an intensive, four-year curriculum modeled on the seminary curriculum for M.Div. students. Most important, it is an excellent opportunity for a profound experience of spiritual growth and deep fellowship. If you're interested, please contact Bill or me.
We have so much to look forward to this coming year! I'm not eager to leave the beach behind, but I am eager to see what God has in store for us in the months to come.

Hey! Glad to see you two are getting back to the beach. Maybe we should talk about youth groups...:-)
