September, 2024
Welcome back everybody! It’s been an eventful summer; your pastor had covid again, we all survived the worst storm to hit greater Cleveland since 1993, we finally fixed the landscaping on the side of the stairs leading to the front entrance at church, an election cycle for president continues to grind on, The Guardians have surprised everyone and have maintained a spot in first place since tax day back in April, and on and on.
As we round past summer and into fall there are many more events to be had. Rally Sunday is coming September 8th and with that day we will receive new members, the choir will sing a football themed anthem, and we will have a coffee hour after to celebrate it all (oh yeah, it’s also the Browns home opener that day. Here we go again!). You will also note that on Rally Sunday I have changed up the service order a bit. I am continu ally looking for ways to make the services each Sunday more meaningful to each one of you and we will see how it goes starting September 8th. September 29th is Harvest Home Sunday, and I encourage everyone to begin purchasing nonperishable goods for Southwest Community Based Services. There are more exciting events coming in the next few months as well…stay tuned! Before you know it, we’ll be trimming the tree once again (I know…slow down Pastor, slow down, ha-ha).
I look forward to seeing everyone and sharing in Christ’s wonderful news of joy, hope and love these next months. God’s Blessings,
Pastor Jason Stitt
