Greetings in Christ!
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it! Let us rejoice in the new season, and let us be glad for what has been a gentle transition from summer to fall (so far…). As hard as it might be to believe, we’re about to enter the fourth quarter of the Year of Our Lord 2025; how we spend our time will change based on the weather, but there are plenty of fun and exciting things to do around here! There’s no need to hunker down until next spring!
Speaking of fun and exciting things to do, we had a very successful Adopt-A-Highway event yesterday, with participants from both churches gathering eleven bags of trash along US-23. This joint effort has been going on for nearly a decade now, and it’s good to contribute to the stewardship of our little piece of Creation. Thanks to all who came out to help!
We’ve touched on this subject in the past, but it’s important enough to repeat; times of transition are good times for reflection, and good times to look forward. As one season flows into another, we invite you to find a quiet place to sit and think about what happened (or didn’t happen) over the summer months; no question that it wasn’t a typical Up North summer in terms of the weather, but there were certainly wonderful things to remember. And some hard things, too. But through it all, God was with us, smiling when we smiled, crying when we cried, and holding us up when we were too weak to go on. It’s good to remember that God never changes, even as the seasons do; and God never changes, even as we do. That consistency, stability if you prefer, brings us great comfort and peace. Thanks be to God for being The Almighty!
Blessings,
Karen and Greg
