Staying connected. This is such an important part of maintaining relationships. It's easy to drift apart without any real animosity or negative intentions. Family members find themselves in this situation. Friends find themselves there. We find ourselves in that situation in our relationship with God. Someone once said, if you feel God is far away, you might want to ask yourself, “Who moved?" Staying connected is not automatic. It takes some effort and determination to make that happen.
One of the ways we work to maintain our relationship with God and each other is through communication. This newsletter is one of those means of communicating. For years, monthly church newsletters have been used to help members stay connected and informed about their local family of faith.
Today, another major means of communicating is via computers and the Internet. With that development, some churches have discontinued mailing a monthly newsletter totally, using only an "electronic" newsletter. For us, in the interest of "going green", and using less paper, postage and fuel to deliver hard copy newsletters, we are offering the option of reading our newsletter on line. To do this, a person can simply go to our website (http://www.oursaviorelca.com/) and click on "newsletter". If you would be willing to be a part of the "green team" and receive your newsletter this way, please call (772-567-2253) or email (oursaviorelca@bellsouth.net) the church office and let us know. This will be not only a savings for the church, but just one more way to be a good steward of the environment.
At the same time, if you would like to keep receiving this newsletter in a hard copy form, that is fine also, and we'll be glad to keep you on the mailing list.
Thank you very much for considering this step in "going green" and helping us be good stewards of what God has given us.
Keeping in touch,
Pastor Jack Diehl http://www.oursaviorelca.com/
