Hi Folks,
Well, fall arrived and the temperature rose to 81 degrees. Of course it did!!
There is a saying that goes something like this, “May you live in interesting times”. That can be construed as a blessing or a curse. We are certainly living in interesting times right now and I am not sure I like it. The next several weeks will certainly require a great deal of patience and prayer from everyone. In any case, please remember to vote! Lives are depending on your vote!
Our Christmas cards should be arriving in our office by the end of the week. I have attached a flyer with the cards on it as well as the order form if you are going to be offering them to your faith community. We know that some of you or ordinarily offer them in your church have not been given permission to do so this year. One suggestion I have for that is to seek permission from your administration to publish our flyer in your church paper and select a day when you would be willing to have a supply of cards in your car and invite people to come to your car for their cards. Folks can always call the office to arrange for pick up here or we will mail them to people for the cost of the cards and postage.
The Livonia office of LIFESPAN is sponsoring a Walk for Life again this year. It will actually be held at their office and the surrounding area. The event takes place on October 18th, from 1:30-3:30pm. In keeping with the season, cider and donuts will be your reward for walking!! We want to get this mailing out to you today but the flyer for the Walk is not available yet. We will send it in a separate mailing as soon as we get it.
Registration for the bus trip continues through October. There is a flyer attached to this email. Please share it with your youth ministers and others who might be interested
As you probably know by now, we have had to cancel our Celebrate Life, 50th Anniversary Dinner again! The date is now May 4, 2021. I will still be at San Marino and we will still have Diamond and Silk as our speakers. If you reserved a place for this year’s dinner, PLEASE contact the office, 248-816-1546, and let us know that you are aware of the cancellation and that you, and your guests, still want to come on the May 4th date. We are contacting 800 people about the change in data and it would really help us if you let us know before we contact you.
Thanks to all who came for the Day of Remembrance. Our babies now have names! Mary, Joseph, John, Anthony and Grace are now enjoying their heavenly family. You will probably see pictures of their headstones and the roses we placed there in the next newsletter.
Love Life! Diane, Lynn and Maria
