September, 2025
Buses have begun rumbling down the city streets. Friday night football has returned again to the high school football stadiums. The calendar has flipped from the dog days of August to the cooler days and school days of September. It is also our time at St. Paul to rally back to church. After vacations, warm days and long nights, we look to a new church year. Sooner than you think we will be putting up the Christmas decorations, but for now we can still enjoy weather without parkas.
As we rally back to church this month let us not forget about friends at Southwest Community Based Services. As you may have heard throughout the summer their food storage is bare. On Sunday September 28 we will be celebrating our annual Harvest Home Sunday and I hope that you will be as generous as you always are to bring what you can to help fill up the storage racks that currently lie empty. As we rally back to church in September let us rally for those who hunger. No one should go hungry, and we can help the cause.
Remember the words of the Prophet Isaiah: “If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.”
Blessings,
Pastor Jason
