This is not an article about a need to air-condition the church.
It is about wonderful worship during the summer here at Brecksville United Methodist Church. Here are some sizzlers already experienced:Summer is lemonade season! Thanks to Jeff Hastings, we have lemonade fellowship every week after the 10:00 service. AND we now use plastic, washable cups instead of Styrofoam!
Summer is graduation season! Our first summer schedule Sunday was a day to recognize graduates from High School and college.
Summer is singing season! We get to blend voices and musical styles on summer Sundays, led by Craig Kotnik’s acoustic guitar at 8:30 and our worship band (Bob Hudacek, Brandon Calovini, and Laina Culley), at 10:00. We’ve seen familiar and new faces as music leaders and soloists, and summer choir is an intergenerational opportunity the last Sunday of each month.
Summer is a green season! Our theme for this summer is “The Earth is the Lord’s” and we have been able to explore all sorts of ideas about our theology of living as part of God’s created world.
Summer is family season! This summer a different family each week is taking on the task of ushering/greeting at the 10:00 service. Make sure to say hello and support them. There are still a couple of Sundays left for your family to try this out.
Summer is a fun season! We get to try some different worship elements in the summer, like guided meditations for Calls to Worship and praying holding hands at 8:30. In August, we will hear from those who attended the Youth Service Project on August 8 and have a pet blessing on August 15, at both services each time.
Come to worship this summer and enjoy a unique season of prayer, music, and friendship. Bring a friend or neighbor. Summer is also a season to share.
