As one of the four seasons, Autumn marks the transition from the hot weather of summer to the relatively cooler days that precede the cold days of winter. In North America, Autumn is commonly considered to start in September when nightfall becomes noticeably earlier. For the world of nature, this is a time of sowing and scattering back into the soil of the earth. In other words, there is redemptive purpose behind seasonal transition.
For "The Gathering of Christ Followers", Fall is in the air as we redemptively transition from "tribal to missional". Shout! On a practical level, here are some approaching calendar events we can all anticipate for this fall season.
