THIS WEEK AT SOUTH SHORE UMC

​

PRAYER FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR 

From The United Methodist Book of Worship 

At the beginning of a new school year, O God of wisdom,  

We offer thanks and praise for the gift of new beginnings  

and for the opportunity to learn and to wonder.  

We pray for teachers, students, and staff that this year might be rewarding for all.  

Be with us as we face the challenge of new tasks, the fear of failure,  

the expectations of parents, friends, and self.  

In our learning and our teaching, may we grow in service to others and in love for your world, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.  

TEAM SPIRIT SUNDAY WATER SLIDE FUN 

Our water slide will open following the conclusion of our morning worship service.  

SSUMC Staff supervision of the water slide concludes at 12:30pm.  

There is no Shore Youth gathering this evening; please use the afternoon and evening to finish your back to school preparations and head to bed early! 

SUPPORT OUR AUGUST BLOOD DRIVE 

Visit the OneBlood Bus today between 9am and 11:30am to give the gift of life. 

This is a way that we can be externally focused in service! 

SHORE SUMMER BOOK CLUB THIS WEEK 

Join Pastor Sarah and Friends on Tuesday Evening via Zoom or Wednesday Midday in Rm 106  

to discuss Mere Christianity: Book 3. See you there! 

SWEETEST GRATITUDE FOR OUR AUGUST REPLENISH RESTORE FOOD DRIVE  

Thank you for your generous donations to SSUMC’s August Food Drive this week.  

Our neighbors and fellow servants at Restore – a ministry of Riverview First UMC – are so grateful. Thank you, SSUMC, for being THE Church!
