ST. LUKE'S SENIOR NEWSLETTER
I hope this message finds everyone doing well and feeling blessed as we begin to say goodbye to Summer and hello to the Autumn season, one of my favorite times of the year. I don’t know about you, but I am ready for Fall and everything that comes with it…the changing colors on the trees, the various smells and scents (my wife really loves this one), the crisp cool air, pumpkins and pumpkin pie, apple cider, and so much more. I’m reminded each year of God’s creation and the amazingness of what God has given us. I’m also reminded of the words to the old hymn, For the Beauty of the Earth, and I invite you to reflect on these words as well this season: For the beauty of the earth For the beauty of the skies For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies Gracious God, to thee we raise This our sacrifice of praise
During our last gathering in August and over the last couple of months, we’ve had the pleasure of hearing from Pastor Rob who spoke about his Sabbatical and mountaintop experiences and how God spoke to him through these experiences. He will soon be starting a new sermon series, Making Room, and will invite us to reflect on God’s blessings, all that God has given us, and make room for additional blessings to flow, especially through the walls of St. Luke’s. Because we are a blessed people…let us continue to ask ourselves this season, how can we better serve (and bless) others through our gifts, our service, our presence, and our witness? Our next Elderberries gathering will be held on Thursday, Oct 3, at 11:45am with lunch served at Noon. Location is Fellowship Hall and the cost is $6.00. Please RSVP to stlukesumc.com/Registration/elderberry. Looking forward to seeing you soon! Blessings, Bryan (Pastor of Visitation)
