Self Care Practices
This summer we asked deacons to share their self-car practices and we heard from a few of you. The following list contains the practices that were submitted by a few of our deacons.
This summer we asked deacons to share their self-car practices and we heard from a few of you. The following list contains the practices that were submitted by a few of our deacons.
- Keep Mondays free of church work. Adhere to a "NO Lists on the Sabbath" routine. On Mondays, this deacon doesn't make any lists and doesn't do anything on a "check-off" list.
- One deacon joined a Friday night golf league.
- Creativity. This deacon tries to do something creative every evening. "Whether it's making jewelry, sewing, painting, photography, embroidery, knitting, it doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm using the 'other side' of my brain!"
So, what do you do? To comment or add your self-care practice, please feel free to add a post!

This and That
I'm glad that most of you recieved the E newsletter last week and that we have several deacons that are following the blog. I hope that there will be more to follow. Please feel free to comment on things that you would like to see on the blog because its purpose is a way to communicate with all of us.
If you have a mission project or outreach that you would like to communicate to all please let me or Bishop Ahrens, Don Richey or Debbie Kenney know so that it can get posted.
I would like to start a little bio on each of us Deacons so that we know who and where and what we are. Once i get a list of emails I will be contacting you so that we can get this started.
