Faith Community NursingHealth Notes for the Transitions of Life
“The glory of the young is their strength; the gray hair of experience is the splendor of the
old.” Proverbs 20:29 NLT
Retirement is full of change so plan how to transition from job to no job and how
to reinvent yourself with a new identity or purpose. Research shows that staying active keeps you healthy because of
the intellectual stimulus it offers and the socialization it provides. Offer your talents/skills/hobbies to your church, local hospital,
or community agency. To socialize join a hobby club, get a part-time job, or take a
class in something new. If you are struggling with retirement, how is your spouse doing? It is an adjustment to both of you so discuss the changes, create together time, but keep
some time for yourself. Make retirement healthy and positive by staying active and
interested in your surroundings.

FIRST THOUGHTSDavid Hull, Pastor
Our Building Committee has been working very hard to prepare a new proposal for our church to consider related to the building program. At the beginning of July we learned that the contractor who had been selected for the work had made a mistake in the bid calculations and was no longer able to complete the job for the amount of the bid. The Building Committee began
working with the next-highest-bidder to come up with a bid will allow us to move forward.
Over the past few days the Deacons, Trustees, Finance Committee, and Leadership Council have reviewed the proposal of the Building Committee. The Leadership Council has worked to form a recommendation that will go to the church. I appreciate the long hours that these groups have been giving to help us come to a point where we can discuss beginning construction.
On Sunday night, August 28, we will have a Called Business Meeting at 6:15 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. This will be directly after all of the church programs for that night. At this meeting the Leadership Council will explain the recommendation that comes to the church about moving ahead with the building program. In addition, the Building Committee will update us on the current plans for the building. We will then take a written ballot vote that night on the recommendation from the Leadership Council. It is important to go ahead and vote that night so that we can honor the timetable for the bids established by the contractor.

FIRST THOUGHTSDavid Hull, Pastor
Our Building Committee has been working very hard to prepare a new proposal for our church to consider related to the building program. At the beginning of July we learned that the contractor who had been selected for the work had made a mistake in the bid calculations and was no longer able to complete the job for the amount of the bid. The Building Committee began
working with the next-highest-bidder to come up with a bid will allow us to move forward.
Over the past few days the Deacons, Trustees, Finance Committee, and Leadership Council have reviewed the proposal of the Building Committee. The Leadership Council has worked to form a recommendation that will go to the church. I appreciate the long hours that these groups have been giving to help us come to a point where we can discuss beginning construction.
