A Message from Our Vice Pastor
Back to Fall Musings: A Season of Renewal
By Rev. Margaret M. Marks · “Pastor Peggy”
Grace and peace to you! I love this passage from Isaiah so much, you’ll hear me repeating it often during our time of change and transition!
“I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
Isaiah 43:19
A warm Fall welcome back to everyone — I so hope you had a change of pace this summer, being on vacation or just a shift in activities, and are eager to get back to our Fall routines.
What to Look Forward to on Sunday, September 13, 2026
1. Two Services
We go back to two services, 8:30 and 10:30 a.m., with Fellowship Time following at 11:30 a.m.

It’s that time of year again! Children should bring their backpacks.

Join me in the Library at 9:15 a.m. to do some brainstorming about possible topics for the Fall season. I’m so eager to hear about your summer adventures and the books you’ve read.
With much joy, Pastor Peggy
