I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,

Sun-Shiny day.
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

About Today’s Message, by Jesse Walters
Many of us are transplants to South Florida. We came here from somewhere else.  For most of us, the weather was a big allure, but a job relocation, or a need to be near family, could have played a part as well.  But fantasy soon gives way to reality, especially if we find we don’t know anyone, or feel marooned or estranged from our past life.  Today, we will explore some thoughts, gleaned in part from a lifetime of actively seeking out new community each time we relocated, as well as some helpful strategies from the book “This is Where I Belong” by Melody Warnick.  How do we learn to love where we live?

Friday, July 12th, 6-8 pm, Ministers Hall
Ho, ho, hot! Let's cool off by celebrating with the tastes, smells, sounds, and fun of the Christmas season in the middle of summer. Kids, parents, and kids-at-heart (meaning ALL congregants!) are invited to dress up in their brightest holiday outfits and come together for a festive dinner potluck, cookie decorating, gift wrapping, caroling, and holiday activities.
Please bring your favorite holiday food for the dinner potluck (a roast turkey will be provided) and a new child's toy, game, or gift card (unwrapped) that we will be wrapping to donate to a local charity (more details to come).
This is an ideal opportunity to get to know the kids and parents within our Congregation as well as invite along some of your own family, friends or neighbors to introduce them to our idea of community. Hope to see you there!
