Pentecost

The growing season – Pentecost.

We enter the season of the church year, Pentecost. This is often called ‘ordinary time’. Summer seems everything but – ordinary! We’ve got a full Children’s Center, with the summer camp program in full swing. We’ve got new adult Sunday School classes! We’re doing all sorts of alternative worship styles with loads of lay involvement! Yet, it is ordinary time. Summertime brings a change in our rhythm and pace. Many of our readings this summer will have to do with ‘agriculture’. We can follow the growing season in the lessons of light and seed. We will grow with the disciples as they come to understand all that Jesus was showing and teaching. We will hear many parables and as our ‘Godly Play’ curriculum suggests, ‘we will see how Jesus becomes a parable’. Come grow with us! See you in church!

With abiding love,
Pastor Lynnae
