We use a phrase like “fall back and spring for-
ward” to remind ourselves to keep up with the
times. Literally. In the fall we turn our clocks
back an hour. In the spring we move our
clocks forward an hour. Staying on the same
page with everyone so we can all be at the
right time at the right place. On a spiritual
level, it’s the goal of every Christ follower
to move forward no matter the season. Even
when believers “fall” for whatever reason,
we are to get back up – GROW forward
through the seasons and circumstances by
“looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter
of our faith.” (Read Hebrews 12:1-13.)
This summer we have enjoyed sponsoring or
supporting a few block parties and community
events - connecting with our neighbors in the
Leeds area with some very positive results.
Thank you to all who helped support that
outreach in very resourceful ways. Even the
last minute rock-painting table really drew
in the kids and the young families to enjoy
a beautiful summer day near the splashpad.
Prayerfully we hope the connections will lead
to growing connections in Christ in the future.
In the fall we hope to start some more “Growth
Groups” to help deepen our discipleship efforts
at Wesley. In this newsletter you will see an
invite for everyone to such opportunities start-
ing after our Sunday School Rally Day on
September 8th when we go back to our two
service schedule: Traditional/Informal
Worship at 9:00 am., Sunday School at
10:10 am. and Contemporary Worship at
11:00 am.
The next sermon series “Fall FORWARD” is
designed to help our newest groups get a good
start in the near future.
Be blessed in your faith filled next steps!

Labor Day in the United States of America is a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the development, growth, endurance, strength, security, prosperity, productivity, laws, sustainability, persistence, structure and well-being of the country. It is the Monday of the long weekend known as Labor Day Weekend. It is recognized as a federal holiday.
Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, trade unionists proposed that a day be set aside to celebrate labor. "Labor Day" was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, which organized the first parade in New York City.
In 1887, Oregon was the first state of the United States to make it an official public holiday. By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, thirty states in the United States officially celebrated Labor Day. Wikipedia
