Pastor’s Letter September 10, 2025

Dear Grace Family,

It has been a joy for Rachel and me to begin our journey with you here at Grace Presbyterian. In just a short time, we have been blessed by your warmth, kindness, and the stories you have shared about what makes this community of faith so special. Thank you for the gracious welcome last Sunday and for the lovely luncheon following worship. We are deeply grateful.

At home, we are still living among boxes and slowly making progress. We have reached the stage of searching for those little odds and ends, such as my favorite grilling apron, the 100-foot extension cord, or the warm comforter we never needed in Texas. I know they are here somewhere, waiting to be found, and I will celebrate when I uncover them.

This Sunday in worship, we will hear two parables from Jesus about things that were lost and then found, the lost sheep and the lost coin. These stories remind us not only of God’s relentless love but also of our call to notice those who may be feeling lost. I would like to invite you to think of someone you have not seen at church in a while, or perhaps a friend who could use encouragement, and reach out with an invitation to worship, a note, or even a cup of coffee.

And if you are feeling lost in this season, please know that my door is always open. We are all held in God’s love, and together we can help one another find our way.

Peace, Grace, and Love,
Pastor Kevin
