Encourager the

Happy Fall Y’all!

Today officially begins fall! I love this season of all things pumpkin, when we begin to get a

break from the heat and enjoy some nice, crisp, cool mornings. Even though we still have some

hot days thrown in the midst, we are reminded that God is never-changing. He is the same

yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Another thing I love about fall is that means we are getting close to The Bridge Fall Retreat.

This weekend is a fun opportunity for kids to get away from the regular routine and

experience the beauty of Pine Cove camp; to just be a kid while learning truths of God’s

Word. To register your child, simply pick up a Fall Retreat brochure, fill it out and return it

with payment.

I’m looking forward to this exciting weekend of faith, friends & fun! And friends are

welcome!

Laurie Cox, Minister of Preschool & Childhood Education
