A note from Pastor Travis 11/6/25

This year, our Stewardship theme is “Responding with Thanksgiving.” Throughout the month of November, we will take the opportunity to express our gratitude and celebrate the many blessings in our lives. 

We began this reflection last Sunday, All Saint’s Sunday, by honoring and remembering the people whose influence has shaped who we are today. This coming Sunday, we will express our gratitude for our family and friends, who bless our lives daily. On Sunday, November 16, we will celebrate how our church community has helped us grow and has made a difference in our lives. Then on November 23rd, Thanksgiving Sunday, we will have the opportunity to respond with gratitude through making our pledges.

As a part of our practice of gratitude, each week, you will be invited to reflect and name someone or something for which you are grateful on a “gratitude leaf” that will be placed on our “gratitude wall.” 

When you consider your pledge for 2026, remember how your generosity supports our ministries and strengthens our mission together. You may bring your pledge on Pledge Sunday, November 23, or submit it any Sunday before that date. 

Thank you for your ongoing generosity and all the ways you give to our church. May our gratitude unite us as we continue to serve, grow, and share God’s love with one another and our world. 

Peace and Grace, 

Pastor Travis
