With the last few days of summer coming up this weekend, you likely find yourself between sadness that it’s over for another year and readiness to get back to routine. As you prepare yourself for “regular” weeks, I want to encourage you to include your church calendar in your planning.

Maybe you have a student in grade 7-12 who you want to block off Tuesdays for, making sure they can get to Freedom Youth. Maybe you have a heart for hospitality and need to save a Friday night once a month to host. Maybe you are looking to go deeper in your prayer life, and so you make note of the prayer opportunities each week with your church family. Maybe your next step is to serve and invest with your gifts, but you need to take that next step and turn it into an action item in the next couple of weeks. There are a thousand maybes I could include here… but you get the idea. What is it that God has put on your heart to prioritize?

You know as well as I do that these things don’t happen by accident. So, make your calendar a matter of prayer as you reset for a new season. Ask the Holy Spirit (your ultimate Trail Guide!) to lead your schedule.

I’ve dropped some links below for your quick reference. I’m praying that we experience the transformational work of Christ in our lives as we step into this fall season, and that He would direct us in every way.

Looking forward to it,
Pastor Tracy
