Authentic Relationships: Around the Water Cooler

Dear Friends,

We spend a majority of our week doing some kind of work. Our work place may be in an office, at home, in a classroom, or in our car. For most of us, work involves interacting with other people; customers, co-workers, supervisors, students, or purveyors.

What happens when someone in our work environment doesn’t “play well with others?” We know the disruption, the stress, and tension this can lead to. We recognize that our work experience is more fulfilling when those work relationships are healthy. What are things we can do, as people of faith, to help maintain healthy relationships at work?

I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday. This Sunday is also Mother’s Day. Invite your mother, or a person who nurtured and cared for you in your life, to worship with you. Please pray for the mission of Buckhall UMC: to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Yours in Christ,
Linda

Pastor's Letter - May 1, 2015

Dear Friends,

Aging is inevitable. It is one of life’s realities. What do you anticipate the next 5, 10, 25 years to bring in your life? What changes do you expect? What kind of plans do you have in place? Have you told your family members your wishes?

This Sunday, according to the UMC calendar, is Older Adult Recognition Sunday. As we continue the series, Authentic Relationships, we will look at how relationships help us to age gracefully. We will also think about how we at Buckhall help build community among those who are young at heart and welcome others from the area around us. Please reach out to a friend or family member and invite them to join you in worship.

I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday. Please pray for the mission of Buckhall UMC: to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Yours in Christ,

Linda
