30 DAYS OF THANKFUL – DAY EIGHTEEN: St Paul’s UMC

2012/11/18 Gayle 0

Today I am thankful for St Paul’s UMC in Carolina Beach! After many years of searching for a Church that I could call my own, I believe I have found it at St Paul’s. I have appended many Churches in my almost 50 years and I have never encountered a a more friendly Church nor a more welcoming Church. While this is a small congregation, I can not imagine that will last….it’s hard to keep good things hidden and once people find St Paul’s the Church will have no choice but to grow. I am excited and looking forward to be a part of that growth.

There is hardly a time that I don’t think “WOW! this is just beautiful” when I cross the Snows Cut Bridge and although I  live (as they say around here) over the bridge, I do cross the bridge multiple time each week. Today I am thankful to live in an area with so much natural beauty!                 I feel very fortunate to be able to live everyday in a place people choose to vacation.

I had The rest of the story

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably know I love social interaction. I find people and discussions with people fascinating; however, as subjects in photographs they hold no appeal. Photographing people just doesn’t do it for me. Having said this, my photos for this week are very human populated. I hope you enjoy them anyway 🙂 Saturday began with the meeting of my UDC Chapter at Jack Mackerels in Kure Beach. I took several photographs and will be sharing them over on the UDC website. However this fluke of photography I couldn’t resist.   By the way, no the room was not that dark.                   Immediately after the meeting we traipsed over to The rest of the story
