* Pastor Appreciation Month: We celebrate the pastors in our congregations and thank God every time we remember you! We offer prayers of joy and gratitude for the ways you are partners in sharing the ministry of the gospel, engaging the world God loves. (Phil 1:3-5, paraphrased)

* Indigenous Peoples’ Day: On Monday October 13, the history and cultures of indigenous communities were celebrated across the United States. We remember that these communities and their languages, songs, and prayers existed long before European pioneers arrived. May justice continue to roll down like waters. (Amos 5:24)
