For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

I Timothy 4:4-5
Autumn | Rainer Maria Rilke

The leaves fall, fall as from far,
Like distant gardens withered in the heavens;
They fall with slow and lingering descent.
 
And in the nights the heavy Earth, too, falls
From out the stars into the Solitude.
 
Thus all doth fall. This hand of mine must fall
And lo! the other one:—it is the law.
But there is One who holds this falling
Infinitely softly in His hands.

Living our faith....
Your PNC has been busy reading PIF’s and choosing candidates to interview. At this time we have had some interviews and have more planned. We have had several promising candidates. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

Where will you find us?
Where do we find you?
Do you have ...
  • Change of address?
  • New email account?
  • Different phone number?

In the few weeks, SIX envelopes have been returned to the church due to address changes. And Pr. Mark has been reaching out to chat via the phone. However, several of you have disconnected or new numbers.

So, please remember to share any changes in your status with us, as we want to stay connected with our church family!
