BACK TO FALL SUNDAY
The Rhythm of Life (September 12 2010 — Janet Ober)
Seasons change, days grow shorter, trees begin the process of renewing their leaves, school starts, and the pace of life quickens a step or two – this is fall. Whether we greet it with excitement or reluctance, it comes. It is part of the circle of life. Today, as the choir returns to the chancel and we all gather to worship at 10:30, we celebrate the rhythm and harmony of our Creator.
Key text: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
