Grandparents are special because they offer a unique combination of unconditional love, invaluable wisdom, and a connection to family history, fostering a sense of identity, stability, and emotional well-being in their grandchildren. They serve as trusted confidantes, provide support to parents, and help maintain family bonds by sharing stories, traditions, and life lessons across generations. Today, we honor grandparents Sis. Iranell Spann and Deacons George and Toni Hillman.

What does Fall season represent spiritually? *
AI Overview: Spiritually, fall signifies transformation, gratitude, and the act of letting go. It is a time for spiritual reflection, evaluating life’s cycles of growth and decay, giving thanks for abundance, and recognizing the impermanence of things. The season encourages a transition from outward activity to inner contemplation, preparing for renewal and new beginnings.
Spiritual Practices for Fall
In September, try journaling as a spiritual practice. Here is a calendar of topics to write about each day. Count your blessings and have fun!
- Mindful Meditation: Engage in meditation to acknowledge the season’s natural cycles and reflect on your personal spiritual journey.
- Rituals of Letting Go: Create rituals to consciously release attachments and negative energies, similar to nature’s shedding of leaves.
- Expressing Gratitude: Practice thankfulness for past blessings, fostering a spirit of abundance and appreciation.
- Inner Contemplation: Use the quiet of autumn to evaluate your life, understand your changing priorities, and surrender to spiritual transformation.
- Community and Connection: Gather with loved ones to share stories, hold ancestral rituals, and build strong, supportive relationships.
