October 2019
My dear sisters and brothers, The life we live comes with many changes; in age, in status, in health among others. All these are season of life like we have seasons of the year. This month, we are entering autumn (fall); another season of the year. As we enter, we will be embracing ourselves for colder days ahead. When this happens, we can look back, reflect on, and hold the memories of the great hot and summer days. As we do, remember that there is still work to do at Fisk; God’s faithful community here, in Natick, MA. Though some of us are back from a time of rest and renewal, we can rest assure that the brightest and fullest days are still within reach. So, as we transition to another season, know that in the Bible; not producing in the season of autumn is compared to autumn trees without fruit. But we are not like those. “We are Fisk” - the faithful community that produces fruits throughout the year. We do not change because of the unchanging nature of our God. Seasons will come and go, status in life will change but we continue to focus on the God who abides and remains with us through all changes. A lasting truth is God’s children will enjoy God s fellowship a million years from now. The world may fade, the stars may fall, resources may be wasted, and the seasons may change, but the God who has been our help in ages past is still our hope for years to come. In Him we can never be destroyed by any three legged stool of hatred, division and fear. In God, the greatest and Almighty One, we are not afraid. We have permanence, stability, love, joy, unity and life unending. Hence, as the season of autumn (fall) unfolds, this is a great time to focus on God’s wonderful blessings—family, friends, strength, shelter, provision, guidance, love, care, fruitful ministry, opportunities to serve, more time to pray and study His Word, and the eternal life still to come. Most of all it is a time of greater opportunity to share our gifts; time talent and tithe. Therefore, as the season changes from summer to autumn; the days get shorter and the night gets longer, try not to spend all your time sleeping. God’s work still needs to be done. And remember that beyond the dark cloud, winter will come and so will spring with a smiling face. Rejoice!

Youth Fellowship Leaders : Bingxin Xu and Tian Zhang

Our youth are busy - with mission work, fun and fellowship activities and growing in faith. Youth Fellowship meets most weeks - either after worship for lunch, fellowship and a program or for a specific special event at another time. See the calendar for the complete schedule and check our our MYF page for pictures and more information.
Bingxin Xu received his master of science degree from Cornell University and moved to Natick, with his wife Tian Zhang, right after his graduation in 2012. They feel blessed to settle down in Natick and Fisk Church, and felt called to be Fisk's Youth Fellowship Leaders in 2015. They are looking forward to leading and growing up along with the youth.
