I looked back on this blog to find the post I wrote following last year's start of Sunday School. You can read it here!

I celebrate, again, the full Sunday School rooms and the renewed energy in the sanctuary. I am excited for what we will offer our youth and children in learning and fellowship this year. I give thanks for our intimate, reflective summer services, while I celebrate all that fall brings in focus and enthusiasm. This year ~ as any ~ will be full of challenges and opportunities.

As I think about what lies ahead, some questions come to mind: What do you hope to see our community of faith do this year? How can we live our faith in the months ahead in our church, in our community, and in our world? How does Christ ~ as our center ~ challenge us to step out in faith?
