Grace Happens
Dear Members of the Parish,
This Sunday, September 13th, is Welcoming Sunday. It is the Sunday we welcome back everyone from the summer and welcome new friends who may have joined us recently. It is a time for re-connecting with each other, this faith community, and our mission as People of God.
There will be sign-up for Sunday School -- see Ed's article in the Bulletin, activities for the Children, and opportunities for the Youth to help out with our barbecue after the 11 AM Eucharist. The Choir will return to lead us in worship and inspire our prayers, along with all the activities that feed our souls and bodies.
I hope that if you have children that you will make a real effort to bring them regularly to worship and Sunday School. We have good curriculum and dedicated volunteers who will walk beside them in their journey and encourage their questions. Nurturing them in their faith is one of the most important things you can do in preparing them for life's many challenges and joys.
There will be many opportunities for you to nurture your own faith this coming year with engaging topics each week in Grace Discussion Group, which meets at 10 AM in the Small Hall. Make it a part of your Sunday routine and come and see what keeps people coming back week after week, year after year.
The fall is a good time to begin again or renew old friendships, or start a new behavior -- one that feeds your soul or connects you to something greater than yourself. Grace happens. "Come and see," as Jesus said to his disciples. Come and see what happens when hands touch hands and hearts touch hearts and voices sing together in praise and thanksgiving.
It's another year of Amazing Grace and we need you there to make it even more amazing.
Blessings and Peace,
Miriam
