Struggling with THE SPIRES

Morning - or almost afternoon,

Usually I have no trouble getting the print newsletter together. This month, however, is VERY DIFFERENT. I don't want to miss anything and it seems that I don't have half of the information that I need. Don't know if it's the heat (it's 85 in my office - even though it's mid 70's outside) or my lack of caffeine that's causing this. Frustrating!!!

Hopefully that will change in the next few days or I'll be a week late - not that anyone is REALLY ready for September anyhow.

Kicking and Screaming Into the Present

Welcome to our new church blog. The title of this isn't exactly correct. I am neither kicking nor am I screaming. Starting this is new and exciting - more like skipping or galloping and humming or singing.

The purpose of this blog is to keep our members and friends current on the news, events and concerns of our church and it's members.

Since we don't, as yet, have a webpage, this blog can also be used by those interested in St. Paul's United Church of Christ in Erie, Pennsylvania, to obtain information and to contact us via comment or e-mail. Our e-mail is: st.pauls_erie@yahoo.com.

Yesterday, we held our worship outdoors at Whitford Park in Harborcreek. It was followed by our annual church picnic! We had a great attendance!

School starts next week for most of our students. Some are in college, high school, elementary and even a few are in preschool! Best wishes to all for a GREAT school year!

That's all for this one....

I'll write more soon,

Cheryl
