This time of year marks yet another new beginning, a beginning of harvest.  Over the next few months the numerous orchards from cherries to pears, apricots to apple, and peaches to nectarines will be pruned, picked, and provided to the world.  We live in such a wonderful area where there is a vast amount of growth of God's amazing garden.  God is using each of us to prune and play in His garden of life.  How do you participate in His garden?  Do you play well with others or are you among the thorns?  Do you pick the fruit or throw it into the dirt?  We all are a part of His garden, and we should strive to work together.  John 15 reminds us that "He cuts off every branch that bears no fruit" , so I encourage you to bear fruit in this Season of Harvest.  I hope you will join us here on Sunday mornings or throughout this Season of Harvest to enjoy God's amazing garden together.
