Beloveds,

I don’t know about you, but the shift from summer to fall always brings me an upsurge in energy. Besides the shift to cooler (well, at least overnight!) temperatures, there’s a sense of plans being made and anticipation of opportunities to meet with friends old and new. At church we have several programs on the horizon that you won’t want to miss.

Personally, I wonder what the hills around our property look like with fall foliage. I walked up the hill behind our Still Springs Memorial Garden a couple weeks ago, and I look forward to enjoying the view through the coming seasons.

I hope you also are enjoying the fall weather and making plans to engage with your church family and perhaps visit our campus. Some things I’m looking forward to that you might want to join:

The (virtual) annual meeting of NOAH (Nashville Organized for Action and Hope, a justice-seeking coalition of Nashville faith communities, of which GNUUC is a founding member) this Sunday afternoon (Oct. 17).
GNUUC’s on-campus Fall Fest on Sunday, October 31. A few worshipful moments, a service project, fun for all ages, and an optional box lunch.
Picnics with the minister--a few chances for us to meet in small groups, outdoors, while the weather is good. I really, really want to meet y’all face to face, so please sign up!

As always, find details for all these possibilities, and many more, in the weekly eblast and on our website.

Until I see you next, I remain

Yours in connection and gratitude,

Rev. Denise
