August Reflections - Rev. Barry Bloom

Hi,
Missed seeing you this month.  I am recovering well from my knee replacement surgery.  Walking a mile or so, going to physical therapy, being mostly pain free during the day.  However night time pain remains making it hard to get the usual sleep.  I am told that “may” lift in another 2 weeks or so……I’m hoping!
I have stayed loosely in touch with the board and Margaret.  Including Skyping in for part of the board meeting.  I will be at the church on Saturday Aug 12 to lead the board retreat, along with Amanda.  Then, we start building toward the symbolic start of a new year.  I will be in the office on September 5 for the first time.  Then, I am really excited about “coming home” again together on Sunday Sept 10.  That’s when we start our new year in a big way.  Stay tuned.
I especially want to thank all of you who so kindly sent me cards or emails for my healing.  Know that they have been very much appreciated!
Look forward to seeing you all soon! Put Sept 10 on your calendar.  Let’s celebrate together!!!
Peace,
Rev Barry Bloom
