Greetings Faith family! My favorite weather has arrived. Our sprinkler system was blown out and winterized this morning, the “fall sport” season ends next week, and the chill in this morning’s air is refreshing! That’s one thing I love about Minnesota: when we are tempted to settle-in to a season, things change and we adapt. So it is with our spiritual journeys: when life seems cozy and comfortable, one child begins high school, another excels at an athletic endeavor, and the schedule ramps up. And so we adapt and dig deep, to be sure our hearts, minds, and schedules are firmly planted in the peace and depth of our life with Christ…which never changes.

This season at Faith has been nothing short of refreshing. We are celebrating new opportunities to connect and dig deep, both with God and with one another. We are delighted at a wonderful class of prospective new members and are thankful for the body of Christ that God is growing here at Faith. And we are focusing on ways in which God and His creation ‘Come Together’ through our weekly sermon series.

Be sure to join us this Sunday as Pastor John talks about God’s Love and Our Hearts. The coming together of God’s perfect love and our imperfect hearts, wrapped together in grace.

Look for the following specific opportunities to ‘Come Together” with your Faith family in the coming weeks:

       Twin Cities Covenant Women brunch, hosted at Faith on Saturday, October 13. Bring a friend!
