Minister’s MUUsings
October 2025

As October arrives, we feel the first hints of change in the Florida air—still warm, but
carrying the promise of cooler days ahead. What a summer it has been!

Our lovely garden looks amazing and has gained some new additions; new benches for the
garden, each one weighing about as much as a small horse. A brave and cheerful team of
volunteers sweated, lifted, and laughed their way through the work, leaving us with
beautiful places to sit, rest, and share conversation.

Our summer services were just as inspiring. We welcomed many new faces into our
community, filling our sanctuary with fresh voices and open hearts. The spirit of growth and
possibility is strong among us, and now we stand ready to move into the height of our
season with energy and joy.

This fall, we are preparing what promises to be the best year yet—classes to spark
curiosity, parties and social events to build friendships, and opportunities for service that
strengthen both our church and the larger community. None of this can happen without
you. We are looking for new leaders, new volunteers, and new ideas. Whether you are ready
to take on a major responsibility or lend a helping hand for just an hour, your gifts matter.
Come, bring your whole self into this shared journey. Together, we will continue to build not
just benches, but a community rooted in love, hope, and courage.
In gratitude and anticipation,

Rev. Amy
