Reaching out from Grand Lake Community Chapel

Greetings in Christ!
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it! Let us rejoice in another day in Northern Michigan’s beauty, and let us be glad for the upcoming Labor Day holiday which gives us a long weekend to enjoy this place we call home! While there’s an undeniable “crispness” in the air the last few days, it’s still summertime. So while some of our dear congregants will have to start thinking about closing up their seasonal homes after the holiday weekend, let’s not jump the gun and miss out on several more weeks of Up North fun!
As August inevitably rolls into September, and a change in seasons is on the horizon, we have an opportunity to reflect on the summer that was (and is!) and to look forward to the autumn that is to come. Seasonal transitions can also be life transitions, and so as we look ahead to jeans and light jackets replacing shorts and T-shirts, let’s also look ahead to focusing on making sure that our relationship with the Triune God is in good shape. Let’s make sure that we remember to “put first things first” as the seasons change; the first thing being our faith and trust in Almighty God. And let’s remember to savor each and every day that we’re given, because each and every day is a gift from our God, who loves us without reservation. God is good, all the time; and all the time, God is good!
Blessings,
Karen and Greg
