Dear Family of faith, Sylvia is home and back to her old self! For those of you who weren't in church last Sunday, we had quite an exciting end to the worship service. My sermon was knocking people unconscious! Seriously, though, Sylvia Chapman had a seizure that made us all stop and pray and call the ambulance. She was in good hands, though, with five nurses circling around her, not to mention at least one EMT! If anything is going to happen to you medically, the safest place to be is in worship at Spring Hill U.C.C.! One of the RN's was even climbing over the pews to get to Sylvia. You don't get any better attention than that! Thanks to all the Parish Nurses and others who helped out in a tense moment. Remember that you don't just belong to a church; you ARE the church! Whenever you see a need for something that you can help with, please step forward and offer your gifts. Together we are invincible. Jesus said so in Matthew 16:18. This week, as you go about your daily routines, remember the power of God's Spirit at work in you. We never have to be defensive or down on ourselves or stuck in self-pity; God's love always puts us at ease with ourselves, our world, and our future. See you in worship! Thankful for all of you, Pastor Carlan
