Reflection for October and November
October and November bring many celebrations for our parish. Many of them spiritual renewals and others for social engagements. We like to give God thanks for everything he has provided for us. These take different forms, nevertheless, we see the hand of God in them. These include harvest thanksgiving, GraceFest, Hispanic Heritage Month, All Souls Remembrance, International and Stewardship Sundays.
Each Sunday our worship service will be intentionally focused on the biblical theme for the day. The sermons and the music will help us to apply them in our lives.
The times are extremely challenging, and we must see the church as that place where we can find that balance. Hopefully this will help folks navigate whatever seems to draw us from the love of God. We hold on to each other and find community of love and compassion. As Margaret J. Wheatley reminds us in her book: Restoring Sanity, “When we trust ourselves to not withdraw, when we realize that giving up is not an option, our confidence has become unshakable.”
Peace to all.
Canon Winston
