Aloha to a New Church Year: Welcoming Fall with Faith and Joy

Welcome back to fall and the start of our new church year! We are thrilled to begin another season of worship and learning together. Our Sunday school classes will resume for all ages, from 3 to grade 12, including adult Sunday school.

As we reflect on the wonderful events of this past summer, let's carry that enthusiasm and joy into our fall activities. We are excited to announce that our theme for this season is "Aloha." This Hawaiian greeting emphasizes adventure and experiencing something new and exciting.

Welcome back to church, let’s reflect on the words from Colossians 3:16: "Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts."

This passage beautifully emphasizes the importance of teaching, wisdom, and gratitude as we come together to worship and learn. We look forward to seeing all of you and sharing in the blessings of this new church year.

In Christ,

Pastor Dale+
