Haunted House
For us, here at Sewickley UMC, October is the month where we will see the most visitors coming to our doorsteps and maybe even through our basement. Will it also be the month that we see the most people experience the love of Jesus, a change of heart, a forgiveness of sin, a desire to be in the presence of God?
What a beautiful season it has been to sit outside and watch the community flock to the pumpkin patch, watch the youth enter the doors of the haunted house with equal parts fear and excitement, and to smell the rotten pumpkins drifting through the air as I sit on my front porch. Wait, what!?!?
Jesus is there in gourds, in pumpkins, in swan necks, in mushrooms, in warty goblins, in snowballs, and in Frankenstein’s head.
As I sit to write the Pastor’s Peace for the November newsletter, it is only half-way through October. There are a few bold(ish) statements I would like to make in faith.
