Hi all,

Many thanks to everyone who tried to diagnose our A/C issues this morning and I’m so sorry we had to cancel services, but it didn’t feel safe to have all of us in the building for an hour + and have the temperature continue to go up. Plus we needed the room reconfigured with tables to have our “RE Sunday” and that would have been additional physical exertion in a room that was already very warm. It sounds like an A/C company will be out tomorrow and I hope the repairs are not too costly, many thanks to John S. who I believe made that call!

Many apologies to all of you who prepared for services this morning – Carolyn made some delicious treats and brewed coffee for Coffee Hour, our Tech Team had us up and streaming, Jacquie and Frank rehearsed our music, Diane was ready to be lay leader, Susan made our Sunday Handout, and our greeters at the Welcome Table had to pivot and tell people to go home!

Aug 13 – Blessing of the Backpacks/SJT Education Forum (Corinna and Michelle)

Aug 20 – New Member Joining Ceremony (Rev J)

Sept 3 – RE Sunday/Soul Matters theme of Welcome (Corinna)

Rev J and I are hopeful that through December we will maintain a schedule like this with an RE Sunday on the first Sunday, guest on the last, Rev J and SJT in between.

Wishing you safe and cool today!
