I've been wondering how your simple church 'project' is doing and I just
came across your card with the address.
We're in the middle of the book in the summer Sunday School class Terry
and I lead and we seem to have some enthusiasm building. In comparison
with the author's ideals the shortcomings at Quincy UMC are painfully
obvious. The class is fairly well agreed that we should be growing
spiritual mature Christians and probably are but if so, 'it just sort of
happens'. And so far we can't define spiritual maturity or the kind of
disciple we'd like to see. We'll revisit this for one or two sessions
after we finish the book. We've had more consistent attendance of 15 or
16 than we've had the last couple of summers.
We're enjoying being here now but as it gets colder in October and
November we'll start looking forward to heading south. Right now there
isn't much diference in weather. We're having a week or so of 90 degree
heat and humidity. This should be temporary. At least here we have a real
house with central AC rather than a 'tin box'. We're busy. My thing right
now is paint the wood window frames on the church. Terry's back and leg
have been behaving and she's spending more volunteer hours at the nursing
home.
And how is everyone doing there, the cancer survivor, the new baby, etc?
Best wishes to all and for a Simple Church.
Brooke and Terry Althoouse
