Dear Members and
Friends of Mount Hermon, |

Celebrate Christ
Together! |

One of the hardest lessons of life is how quickly
things change around us and how much we take for
granted the people, events, and places that
shape us as individuals. We grieve the loss of
times and people that are long gone in our
lives.
These hard times have affected many churches and
other organizations. This week our Bishop
and his entire office are on unpaid furlough.
This is also a reality for teachers and other
state employees. For many, the future
seems cloudy and uncertain. I've seen churches
in the community, which had been places of
growth, challenge, and sanctuary for many are
now boarded up with For Sale signs in front of
their doors.
It is so easy to take for granted what we have
every week and season at Mount Hermon. We count
our blessings, acknowledge our fellow travelers,
and faithfully stay at the path that is set
before us. Amid all the changes of life, we
worship the Holy One who restores. God promises
to make new what is broken, what seems lost, and
bring vitality once again. He does not
camouflage the old; he restores the new.
You restore my soul, O LORD, and guide me along
right pathways for your name's sake.
Psalm 23:3
