May 21, 2012
I send all of you my best wishes for a safe and renewing summer as
summer vacations begin.
It is also the beginning of the second half of the Christian Year in the
liturgical and lectionary cycle of the church's worship. During the first
half of the Christian year we have told the story of God coming to us
in the birth and ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus.
The second half of the year, beginning this coming Sunday with
Pentecost, moves us into what is called "ordinary time" in the church
year cycle. Our focus will be on the ministry and mission of the
church. As God's love is personalized in the life of Jesus, God's love
is organized in the life of the church. We will be exploring what it
means to "be church," to be Christ's body in the world, as we move
into these coming months.
During all the activities of the summer, remember to worship each
Sunday and participate in all the activities of the church...camps for
