As the leaves turn and the light shifts, we’re invited once again to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with one another, with our community, and with the deeper rhythms of life and faith.
This Autumn at Pip & Jim’s, there are many ways to gather, celebrate, remember, and be inspired. Whether you’re seeking comfort, joy, creativity, or simply a place to belong—you are warmly welcome.
With love,
Rev Ruth & all at Pip & Jim's
