                     A Message from Pastor Laine

                           ​                                   Autumn
  We ave enjoyed the warmth and beauty of the summer months and now it is autumn.  Autumn brings rain and wind, dramatic change in temperatures and climate.  Autumn also brings colors that we have not seen for some time.  The leaves change from green to yellow and brown, orange and red.  The shadows mirror the shapes of trees and bushes becoming more like skeletons.  The changes can have a haunting effect on our lives.  Autumn can be depressing.
     However, autumn can also be exhilarating in sights and sounds.  The cascade of colors on the hills reminds us of the beauty of God's creation - a constantly transforming canvas of color.  It never ceases to amaze us as the setting sunlight illuminates the leaves after a cleansing rain.  Or the beauty of an early morning fog lifting the hills in ethereal mist.
     The sounds include the rolling dark thunder clouds much like the waves at sea that crash into the shoreline rocks.  The wind whistles through the trees singing a chorus of new melodies.  The rain pelts against the window pangs as we cozy up to a warm fire.  Autumn can be a beautiful time of the year and one to truly enjoy.
     Autumn is much like our life as a family of believers.  We hear children running and playing in and around our church.  The chimes ring out.  We laugh and sing exchanging conversations of incidents in our lives.  Old and new people arrive with new colorful stories and new talents and interests.  It is an exciting time in the life of our gathered family.  Take a little time and enjoy autumn and your Trinity Lutherean Family.
         
                                             Peace and Blessings,
                                             Pastor Laine
