Goodbye, Rev. Jen

For some, this brings relief and a different rhythm and for all of us, a faster, more intense pace than Summer. However, the shift from

Dear Saints, As the very familiar passage in Ecclesiastes 3 says: “For everything, there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 3 a time to kill, and
