Gretna Family,
It feels like August just arrived, and now September is already here. We’re heading into fall—well, a false fall, that is. The only real signs of fall are the smell of freshly sharpened pencils and pumpkin-spiced lattes on the menu. It’s a part of Southern life where our schedules and patterns transition, but the weather doesn’t change much!
Many of us are looking forward to this Labor Day weekend as a good time to be with family and friends before fall truly begins. Before we know it, Advent and Christmas will be upon us. Some of us will enjoy a cookout or meal with loved ones, while others will travel, taking advantage of one last trip!
In worship, we will embrace the theme of journey in our sermon series. As many of you know, our family loves to travel—both near and far. We believe that experiencing other cultures and making new friends teaches us so much. The journey itself—relying on others, exercising patience, and adapting to different ways of doing things—teaches us about ourselves and about God.
Jesus and his disciples journeyed together frequently, meeting and loving many people along the way. Often, their journey proved to be greater than the destination. So join us in exploring a journey of faith this September.
In Gretna Grace,
Pastor Marissa
