A full weekend was had by many of us this past weekend at Church. On Sat., the Session members of FPC-H met from 10-2:30, discussing the past, the present, and the future of the Church. We met in the Henderson library board room, and from our vantage point we saw the Church in the near distance, giving us a great perspective to look outside the church but nearby, having a little perspective that we wouldn't have were we meeting in the Church building itself. The retreat gave us space and time to reflect upon our collective past, consider the present joys and struggles, and consider carefully where we are being led by God.
On Sunday, worship was made memorable because of the celebration of All Saints' Day and those who have already departed from us yet still are present as part of that cloud of unknowing witness.
Right after worship, we feasted on food cooked by Fred Lemmond as our Stewardship Kick-off Luncheon called us all together to enjoy good food and great company. Our new t-shirts ($10!) and window decals give us new ways to evangelize in the community, along with our nifty new book marks.
Then on Sunday night, the youth group sponsored a Fall Festival, with plenty of games, food, and fun for people of all ages!
It is Monday morning...phew! Hope everyone has a great day and week!
And don't forget to vote tomorrow, Nov. 4th!
Peace,
Pastor Brett
