SEPTEMBER 2026
September Blessings
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
September brings a welcome change of season. The cooler temperatures, shorter days, and hints of autumn remind us that the Lord gives every time of year for our good. As summer winds down, we are blessed with a fresh opportunity to settle into new rhythms of life and faith.
This is also a wonderful time to reignite our Sunday School programs, Bible studies, and other church activities. May the Lord bless our children, families, and teachers as we grow together in His Word.
September is a good month for renewed relationships as well. After the busyness of summer, we have the chance to reconnect with one another, encourage one another, and give thanks for the fellowship we share in Christ.
And as Reformation Day draws near, we are reminded once again of the heart of our faith: we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. God comes to us through the means of grace — His Word, Holy Baptism, Absolution, and the Lord’s Supper — and there He gives forgiveness, life, and salvation.
May this September be a season of peace, renewal, and joy in the gifts of Christ.
In Christ’s service,
Pastor Kelly
