Autumn is the beautiful season of letting go in preparation for rest and reflection. A time to select choice seeds for a fresh planting. The current season of this church is like autumn. It’s a time to celebrate but let go of past glory, slow down and rest in Christ in order to rise to the season of new growth. It’s a time to examine the seeds of the last season that will grow something new in the next. It is time to lay bare the trunk and branches of FPCU’s ministries, prune fruitless branches and rest in what roots this church to Christ. The leaves of autumn celebrate past glory but die to make way for the new.
