This week, we will bring our Summer Soul series to a close by turning to the rhythms of work and rest. We're invited to see our daily tasks, no matter how ordinary, as opportunities to be present to God, to care for others, and to ground ourselves in love. In other words, to be a blessing. If you're returning to school, heading into a busy season at work, or just trying to get a handle on everything, we will reflect on what truly matters together.

As we move on from this series, a lot is happening in the life of the church. The End to Christian Nationalism book study kicks off soon, there are new opportunities to gather in smaller groups coming soon, and before we know it, the holidays will be upon us.* Seriously, how is it September already? I hope you’ll find time to stay connected in the ways that nourish your spirit.
