Are you ready for Fall? I am! This summer has been one of the hottest on record and I am ready for a cool down.
Remember when summer meant rest and relaxation? It doesn’t seem that way anymore; perhaps it never really was, but it is an image in our minds.
The fall brings a new outlook, kids go back to a new school year and there seems to be a re-set of our thinking, even if you no longer have kids in school, there seems to be a change in our outlook, our thinking and planning. Like New Year’s Eve we set our intentions in new directions. This year will be better, we will finally start that diet, or exercise, or begin reading more, but do we really change? Or do we even need to?
This is the unchanging God that remains with us, as we move in and out of the latest craze, our God remains constant. As we move in and out of moods, jobs, likes and dislikes, our God remains constant, our foundation through our changes. Change is good. We should be changing, that is how we grow into new understandings and new ways of being. Knowing that God remains with us, with an unchanging love, is the most important message.
Fall comes like a breath of fresh air! We open our windows and let the breezes blow through. We refresh our commitments to groups we have broken away from over the summer months. We invite you to re-join us if you have been away and to know that you have been missed. TUC has lots of exciting things happening in the coming days. Keep in touch, watch us on YouTube and find us on Facebook or Instagram.
Happy Fall!
Rev. Robin
WE ARE AN AFFIRMING CHURCH
ALL ARE WELCOME
Affirm United Ensemble is an organization of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities within The United Church of Canada. Affirm United works to promote the full inclusion of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people in the church and in society. The Affirming Ministries Program was launched by Affirm United and Friends of Affirm in the summer of 1992 (at that time, it was called “Affirming Congregations”). Each United Church organization that is an Affirming Ministry declares itself to be fully inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities—and they back up their words with action.
