Jesus walks with us in all of the seasons of life – winter, spring, summer and fall. At times we experience joy, prosperity, and peace while at others challenge, sadness and discouragement. Yet, we know that God (Father, Son and Spirit) is always present through it all.
As we come together in these concluding weeks of summer and the beginning weeks of the fall, we will consider the theme of Christ with us in all of life’s seasons. To focus our attention we will use the metaphor of “life’s valleys” to capture the dynamics we pass through in our journey of faith – at times valleys of blessing and growth and at others valleys of suffering and crisis. Yet, we are able to travel in confidence that Jesus is with us at every point of our pilgrimage.
