This is just a short note to say Merry Christmas to everyone from the students and staff of the UF Wesley Foundation. May God bless you and your family on this special day. Be safe over the remainder of the holiday break, and we’ll see you all in 2008!
Merry Christmas,
UF Wesley Students and Staff
Exams are coming to a close for many of us UF Wesleyan-er-ite-ists (those of the UF Wesley Foundation) and I began to wonder what it was like to be in Gainesville after all of the students leave. Is it like that age old question: If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
If there is a city called Gainesville and no students are around to see it, does it really exist? Or does it go home and take a long nap like the rest of us in an attempt to recover in time for the Spring Semester?
Obviously, the town still exists and UUMC still meets each Sunday. Whether we think about it or not, the town and the church especially need our prayers even when we are not there. The church does so much for us so why not return the favor. I challenge us all to keep the church and the entire city of Gainesville in our prayers throughout break. Its just a thought.
Have a Very Happy Christmas and rest up for an Awesome Spring Semester!
