Summer Reading 2009

Good Books!!!
Have you read any good books lately?
Summer is a great time to explore and travel places we have never been.
It is also a great time to read a good book while relaxing in the sun with
a cold glass or lemonade or ice tea.
Listed below are some books that provide great reflections and food
for thought, please consider adding one or more to your summer read-
ing list. Some are great to share in a small group discussion group or in
devotion time with your spouse. And others offer powerful perils of
wisdom. Enjoy! Yes, one of them will be part of a Sermon Series this
fall.

Celebration of the Arts
George Perryman, was our fea-
tured artist for our fifth Sunday in
May services. He was born in
Tulsa, Oklahoma and retired as a
Mechanical Engineer in Houston,
before moving to Sun City in
2006. He and wife Judy have
been married for 46 years and
have 3 children and 7 grandchil-
dren. George has always enjoyed
drawing and woodworking, but didn’t start carving
until he was 50 years old. His love of carving Indi-
ans and mountain men comes from his American
Indian heritage, the Creek Indians, who migrated to
Tulsa, OK, from Georgia and Alabama in 1828.
They owned the land and building which served as
the U.S. Post Office and first carried the name
Tulsa. George’s great, great, great grandfather was
chief of the Seminole Nation.
Lost and Found
We have collected quite a few lost and
found items in the parking lot and worship
center. If you have misplaced an item and
have no idea where it is, please check with
the church office.

“Joys”
We give thanks to God that Jim and Cheryl
Russell recently celebrated 35 years of mar-
riage and that on Monday, June 22, Jim com-
pleted his chemo treatments. However, let us
continue to pray for healing and restoration of
Jim’s health as he under goes further tests and
evaluation.
It is with great joy that Wellspring welcomes
back Mary Reynolds. Over the past months
Mary has experienced some health issues that
eventually required her to move with her
daughter. But, God has restored her health
and she has moved back into the Wesleyan at
Estrella and once again graced the congrega-
tion with the warmth of her smile on Sunday,
June 28th. We give thanks and praise to God
for her healing and presence with us.
Dear Brothers & Sisters,
In the last Source that you
received, I wrote about the
changes that had taken place
at the Post Office relating to
Bulk Mail. In response to
those changes, we created
two communication tools as
a means of keeping you informed about what is
happening within Wellspring. These tools are the
eNews and the ReSource.
The eNews is an electronic newsletter which
highlights upcoming events and is sent out weekly.
If you have not subscribed to eNews you may do
so during the worship service by filling out the at-
tendance pad and checking off the box ”enews”,
or you can email the church office at
admin@wellumc.org
The ReSource took what had previously been
our worship bulletin and reformatted it to include
information about events within the life of the
church. However, we recognize that not everyone
has access to computers and not everyone is in
church on Sunday mornings.
Therefore, in response to those who have in-
quired about why they are no longer receiving any
information from the church, beginning this
month we will publish the Source on a monthly
basis. The intent is to mail it on the last Tuesday
of each month. It will include information about
what has happened at Wellspring as well as current
articles and upcoming events. In addition to a
postal mailing of the Source, it will also be avail-
able on line for those who wish to subscribe.
Thank you for supporting your church and its
ministries. May we continue to join our hearts,
minds, and spirits together that God may use us to
sow seeds and touch lives with his love.
Shalom,
Debra
