The ReMarks

September 17, 2025

Last week, the breeze hinted at change—this week, it’s saying "Summer isn't over yet!". As the plants begin their slow dance into autumn, and residents of midtown begin pulling out their cozy sweaters, we’re reminded that transformation is both gentle and holy.


As the season deepens, so does our call to know ourselves, and this Sunday we'll be acting on that call.
