A Word From the Pastor, Reverend, Daeil Min

Dear Church Family,

October is a month of change. The air grows crisp, the days shorten, and the trees begin their colorful display before letting go of their leaves. Watching the leaves fall reminds us that sometimes we, too, are called to let go—of our worries, of our need for control, of the questions that weigh heavy on our hearts—and fall into the arms of the One who never lets us go.

This fall, we are invited to join together in "falling into God's will." We don't always understand why things happen the way they do. Life brings blessings, but it also brings struggles and heartache. And in those moments, we ask: Why? Why suffering? Why pain? Why unanswered prayers? These questions are not signs of weak faith—they are signs of a living faith that seeks understanding.

To help us wrestle with these important questions, we will begin a new book study: "Why? Making Sense of God's Will" by Adam Hamilton.  In this book, Rev. Hamilton addresses some of the hardest questions Christians face, such as: Why do innocent people suffer? Why do our prayers sometimes seem unanswered? Why do tragedies happen if God is good and loving? Rather than offering easy answers, the book encourages us to seek God's presence in the midst of life's struggles and to grow deeper in trust and faith.

Starts: Wednesday, October 1st
Time: 6:30 PM
Location: Friendship Hall
Duration: 4 weeks

Let's fall for Jesus, the One who never leaves us, through this study and through the conversations we will share. Together we will find space for meaningful conversations, honest  questions, and spiritual growth. Everyone is welcome, and no question is off limits.

As the leaves fall this October, may we remember that God's love never does. May this season remind us not only of change, but of the eternal One who holds us steady through it all.

With gratitude and love,

Rev. Dale Min, senior pastor
