This Sunday we’ll be talking honestly about decline—how so many of the institutions, traditions, and structures we’ve relied on seem to be fading or shifting beneath our feet. It can feel disorienting, even painful, to watch things we once trusted lose their strength. But we’ll also explore how moments of decline can become openings for God’s renewal—how endings can clear space for new beginnings we couldn’t yet imagine.
This message isn’t about despair; it’s about hope that’s honest. It’s about learning what lasts when so much feels uncertain, and how to live with courage, compassion, and faith in a time of change.
