September 2025
From the Pastor’s Message:
School is back in session, and the church parking lot is again full with student vehicles. Soon, it will also be full with the redwood fronds that are turning orange and brown in the trees around us. It’s a beautiful time of year, and a great time for continued learning and growth.
As we transition from summer to fall, our life together as a church also takes on fresh energy. Adult Education will resume after worship with an “Adult (Re)Confirmation” course — a time to explore the tenets of our Lutheran tradition, whether for the first time, or as a renewal of faith. We will also begin a Grief Support Group, offering a place for those carrying loss to share and walk together in hope. And our Choir will soon lift their voices again in rehearsals, adding beauty and joy to our worship on Sunday mornings.
In addition to these opportunities for learning, healing, and praising, I pray that the Gospel will continue to strengthen, stretch, inspire, and challenge you as we seek to learn and grow together in Jesus Christ.
Peace,
Pastor Taylor
