Hello Church,

Well, whether I like it or not summer’s coming to an end. School is back in session, September is starting, and we’ve reached the summer bookend that Labor Day represents. I have throughly enjoyed summer and I don’t want to say goodbye just yet… so I won’t!

I invite you to join me as I try to spend as much time as I can outside enjoying all the amazing things God has made. Michigan offers some amazing displays of His creativity this time of year and just being outside can be a worship experience. So let’s ignore the “pumpkin spice” infiltration and hang on to summer by finding a stoop to sit on and watch God do some cool stuff with the leaves on our trees.

It’s gonna be great!
