Mid-Week Inspiration: Wednesday, July 27, 2022
Apparently, they have a saying in Maine, “you can’t get there from here.” I believe this saying could also be an accurate statement of some roads here in Gainesville.
Sometimes we are faced with problems so significant that the solution seems to be out of reach. As a result, we find ourselves at times in what appear to be dead-end situations.
We look for answers to the problems and throw our arms up, saying, “You can’t get there from here.”
We may not be able to get anywhere, but we can get somewhere. The situation may not be fixed overnight, but it doesn’t mean we are hopeless.
As you approach what appears to be an impossible obstacle, ask yourself, “What is one small step you can take today?” And then, do the same again tomorrow.
Every solution starts with one step. Mountains are moved with tiny shovels.

Mid-Week Opportunity:
August 17 - September 14 / 6-7pm / Reception Hall of Gainesville First UMC
On Wednesdays, Aug. 17- Sept 14, from 6-7 pm, several experts in their fields will share insights for parents of children elementary age and younger. Each week will feature a different speaker. A snack supper will be provided for parents. Your children ages three and up can join Bridges, our Wednesday night children’s ministry activities, and we’ll provide childcare for your children ages two and younger.
Our speakers include a pediatrician (Brad Boyd), an educator (Leslie Frierson), a child psychologist (Kristen Green), special education specialists ( Amy Cox), and a guru of faith development in children (executive director of N GA Camp & Retreat Ministries, Russell Davis)
Topics will include:
how to make the most out of your pediatric appointments, parent-teacher conferences, IEP meetings, etc.
when to seek special services for your child
how to be an advocate for your child's health & well being
how children develop spiritually and how you can support them
There will be time for Q & A in each session, and you'll have a chance to hear from other parents about what has worked for them.
