The NewsVolume 47 Number 1 | First Presbyterian Church | January 2015
[Sue’s Musings]My musings are pretty brief this
time, as is our newsletter. Mostly I’m musing about how much I love advent, and how extremely busy it’s been! Lots of good stuff happened in Advent, but it was busy nonetheless – busier than usual. As we look toward January and a new year, we have a month that is blessedly “normal.” Children’s Wednesday programming, the Spiritual Life Class, youth groups, choir practices, committee meetings, all go back to their regular routine in January. For all of us who have been overly involved in all the special events in December, we say
“Whew! What a ride it was! Can I get off now?” I think a lot of us are ready for a return to “normal.”
You’ll notice that in this newsletter, as I sat down to see what needs to go in, I looked at the calendar and realized January was giving all of us a much needed chance to catch our breath. The life of the church will go on, youth groups

will meet, children will laugh, adults will grow in faith together, worship will glorify God, but we can go about all that without any pressure to outdo anyone else, or to be busy for the sake of being busy. We can just enjoy for a while being in a comfortable routine.
So rather than find a bunch of stuff to cram into the newsletter so we could say “hey – look at all we’re doing!” and running each other ragged, we’re going with the minimalist approach – and giving you the basics of what’s coming up, and then we’ll leave it at that.
Maybe that’s not such a bad way to enter the new year – focus on what is important, and let the rest go. Don’t burn yourself out trying to do too much. Do what it takes to honor God with your living, to serve others in the name of Christ, to love others as Christ loves others, and let the rest take care of itself.
Grace and Peace,Interim Pastor Sue
