Sullivan UMC—J. Michael Smith

Personal note:  Had a day off yesterday to be at home for the first time in quite a while.  Grass needed mowing due to all the rain.  Weeded flower beds and got vegetable beds ready for planting tomorrow morning.  Lettuce, spinach, arugula, bok choy, and peas.  Working through my “to do” list on small repairs while Jie is gone, and took the car to the body shop to get some dents pounded out.

This Sunday

Scripture:  James 3: 1-12

Sermon:  Getting a Handle on One’s Own Self (last in the Fruits of the Holy Spirit Series)
