The topic of the sermon is "Burr Season" and the synopsis is this: Autumn is the season of completion and harvest. While we often associate it with fall fruits--the pumpkins and apples that will grace our Thanksgiving tables--I've always associated it with a less friendly autumn product: burrs. The burrs that we find sticking to our clothes in autumn carry more than seeds. They carry the message of autumn itself. Autumn, like the burrs, spurs and needles us to action after the lazy days of summer, calling us to take up the work we put aside when warm days began, and to move it toward completion." and the synopsis is this: Autumn is the season of completion and harvest.
