A Special Announcement from Rev. Jared Slack youtu.be/KE0NmxS4XPc via YouTube Bittersweet news... our beloved Rev. Jared Slack is moving on to new things. Let's send him off with love! If you'd like to give a love offering in his honor, please go to secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin…

Another season of politics that seems to bring out the worst in people… But what if? What if this year we refused to let it bring out the worst, and allowed it to bring out More? What if this year we fought for unity over division? What if this year we found our true voice?

Sunday, October 4 is World Communion Sunday and it seems impossible to celebrate the day of communal gathering without physically gathering. So, we have worked to come up with a way to practice World Communion while keeping our community and city safe and strong.

World Communion is coming up this Sunday—don't forget to sign up for a time to celebrate together! This is a rare opportunity for small groups of our church family to safely gather. Go to our website at firstaustin.org/world-communion to register or find out more information.

Imagination is our October Clarion theme. Read articles and poetry from members and staff about where our imaginations can take us. Look at inspiring art full of hope from our children, and collages from your Clarion editor, Elizabeth O'Brien—fbcaustin.org/clarion-magazi…
