Dear Members and Friends,
“Summertime, and the livin’ is easy . . .” Have you
ever had a time when the words to a song get in
your head and stay with you throughout the day?
Sometimes they continue for longer than a day.
That is what it has been like for me with the words
from Gershwin’s
Porgy and Bess
. I have been singing it
(at home), humming it and remembering the words.
It is summertime. The temperature has risen. The sun is shining.
And, at least we are told, the “livin’ is easy.” For some people the
summer is a time when life slows down a bit from a frenetic pace
to a more manageable pace. Many people will enjoy some time of
vacation – visiting friends or relatives, traveling, going to the beach,
or even staying home. However, there are some people for whom
the summer does not slow down.
At NPC this summer brings some special activity – the Beach
Service, a trip to Africa, VBS (which was just completed), VWAP in
West Virginia, Summer Nights (on the beach) – to name a few.
In addition to these opportunities, we continue to move forward
in our interim process. As I write the Nominating Committee is re-
ceiving nominations for the Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC)
and I expect that we will have a Meeting of the Congregation to
vote on the PNC in the not too distant future. Please join me in
prayer for the Nominating Committee and the future Pastor Nom-
inating Committee for wisdom and guidance as they search for the
new senior pastor for NPC.
Whatever your “summertime” has in store for you. I want to en-
courage you to worship with us. “
Let us not give up meeting together
. . . but, let us encourage one another . . .
” (Hebrews 10:25)
Peace,
Pastor John H. Seiders
Interim Pastor
July/August 2017
