Embracing the Beauty of Change
As I look out at the changing colors of autumn, I am reminded of the beauty and rhythm in each season’s shift. The cool, crisp air and vibrant colors remind us that change is both natural and necessary. Each season has a beauty of its own, and it invites us to embrace the transformations in our own lives, including those we experience within our faith and church community.
Just as trees release their leaves in autumn, we, too, are called to let go and prepare for what’s to come. Within the church, we see changes that might at first feel unfamiliar but are ultimately a reflection of our growth and faith. God often works through these seasons of change, encouraging us to deepen our understanding and commitment to each other and to His purpose. We’re reminded to look for the beauty and possibility within these changes, trusting that God is guiding us.
Personally, this season feels especially significant to me. After facing health challenges that kept me away, I am deeply grateful to be returning to good health and to be here, present with each of you. It’s a joy to join you once again in worship, fellowship, and shared faith. I look forward to walking through this season together, as we witness God’s work in our lives and our church.
Let us remember to embrace each season—of life and faith—with gratitude, and to look for God’s beauty in all the changes around us. May we grow together in love, faith, and purpose.
With blessings and joy,
Pastor Lesli
