September 2026

Rooted for the Turning Season

Fall arrives with early mornings, fuller calendars, and a quiet invitation to go deeper. This month we build steady study habits, gather around short Scripture lessons, and let God tend the roots beneath the changing leaves.

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1
