Welcome!
Can you feel a touch of Autumn in the air? I always look forward to those early signs of Fall: the first chilly morning, earlier sunsets and the return of college football games. The first official day of autumn is Saturday, September 23. Soon after we will begin to see God’s glorious handiwork as the leaves begin their brilliant display of color. Autumn is a season of endings: the summer harvest is brought in and we enjoy the taste of that last vine-ripened tomato; frost slows the growth of grass and foliage; we bid farewell to summer’s long days and pull out the jackets; Pumpkin Spice appears everywhere (like it or not!), and we prepare for winter.
This Autumn we bid farewell and Godspeed to Carol Webster, our digital media coordinator. Carol has deftly managed the LMLC website and our social media pages for nearly 4 years, and she will retire on September 30. Almost every visitor who joins us in worship has shared that they first visited the LMLC website, and based on the online info detailing our mission and ministry, they decided to join us for worship. Carol also posts the livestream recordings of our worship services, another great Evangelism resource. Carol’s faithful service has bolstered our ministry in the NRV, and we give thanks for her gifts,
talents and time. We wish her a fulfilling, relaxing retirement and hold her in prayer. One of Carol's colleagues, Linda Stamps, will take over the website administration. Please pray for Carol and Linda as they initiate this transition, in service to Jesus Christ.
My prayer for each of you is that you may spend some relaxing time in Nature this Autumn; God’s creative imagination may be seen everywhere, if we take time to notice it. Let us give thanks and praise to God for this bountiful, glorious Earth, and for the many blessings God gives to us each day. I give thanks for this faithful congregation and the ministry we do together in service to our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Peace to all here, Pastor Monica
