SHEP CONNECTION CORNER - September Newsletter
SHEP’s Connection Corner
Okay, Summer, It’s time to get out of here!
We have a new SSP certified from the Tulsa area! Welcome KJ!
We made it through the heatwave!
Whew wee! It has been a scorcher. I hope you all have been staying hydrated. Heat exhaustion is a real thing. If you are going to be outside getting some sun, safety is always a primary concern. The good news is the heat is coming to an end! By the way, do you try to recycle? Little things help save the environment one water bottle at a time. This year has been flying by! Where has time gone? We are fast approaching the holidays and the time for family traditions. What tradition do you have? Please tell us! We want to hear them! The picture in this newsletter is of Cassandra at an African birthday celebration. It was a magnificent cultural event. Next time you see Cassandra, ask her all about it!
As the season changes and the air begins to smell different and carry a bit of chill in the air, we switch out our icee drinks for chili bowls. We have some exciting things planned for the fall! Check the calendar for upcoming events.
“For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.”-Habakkuk 2:3
We pray over you, giving thanks to be among you in each season. We pray for prosperity and joy in all your hearts and your homes.
Don’t forget to send us an email with your birthday, etc.

Hey, did you know?

~September is a month of remembrance. In addition to Labor Day, September is a month of remembrance for many people. It’s a time to honor and remember those who have made sacrifices for their country, their community, or their loved ones.
~September is a significant month for McDonald's. A McDonald’s fact that you should know is that in September 1960, the famous “Golden Arches” logo was introduced. Adding to that, the first McDonald’s restaurant in Europe opened in Amsterdam, Netherlands~The dirt is red because of the weathering of sands, siltstone and shale.
~ September is the month with the most songs with its name in the title. Did you know that September has more pop and classic songs with its name in the title than any other month? Some of the most famous songs include “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire, “Wake Me Up When September Ends” by Green Day, and “September Song” by Frank Sinatra. This just goes to show how much this month has inspired musicians over the years.
