October 22, 2025,
Nature has a way of surprising us and I hope to never tire of it. This year, because of how dry it has been, the early leaf color was underwhelming, but now the understory (the smaller trees and shrubs that grow below the tallest trees that make up the crown of the forest) is putting on quite the show. I took the following video driving down Union Street in Peterborough yesterday.
Last Sunday we studied the parable Jesus told from Luke 18 about being persistent and never giving up. This late flush of leaf color is reminding me to be persistent in noticing the wonderful things that are happening all around me and to be persistent in hoping that the future will hold more wonderful things in store for us all. In all circumstances, may we find reasons to be thankful and give praise to the Source of love we call God.
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit.” – I Thessalonians 5: 16-19

An invitation to membership of Dublin Community Church
Membership is not required in our tradition, but I can tell you from experience that it does feel significant to step into a deeper practice of church. We plan to welcome new members on Sunday November 9th, so if you are interested to learn more, please contact me at 603-715-0990 or Traceymaykalvaitis@gmail.com (please do not reply to this email; it will not reach me). There is no class required, just a conversation.

Please join me in a spirit of prayer.
Beloved God, I am grateful for so many things. For the warmth of the autumn sun, for the nourishing rain, and for the many colors that are gracing the forest before the onset of winter’s palette. I am grateful for the riches of community and all I learn from being part of it. I am grateful for the many lessons of the past and I pray for the wisdom to make better choices in the future. In all my relationships, may I be a reflection of your love, compassion, light and peace. This I pray in Christ’s name. Amen.
“May my God supply your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ. To God be glory for endless ages. Amen.”
-Phillipians 4:19-20
In Christ,
