There was a certain crispness in the air the other evening as I pushed my daughter on the swing.
Fall has arrived, wrapped in expectation, boasting new beginnings and fresh starts.
There is little more exciting than sharp pencils with fresh erasers, new sneakers and never used backpacks all lined up by the door.
For years, Just for Joy has been the safe place you’ve come home to in every season of life–and this fall will be no different. Except, this fall, Just for Joy has a new name.

We’re excited to introduce: Women at First Church.
Come. Be Known. See you this fall!

“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.” Timothy Keller
