News and Notes

Dear Parish Family,

I am pleased to share the news that Brad and Maria Bennink have accepted a call t o become our new Children's Ministry Coordinators. We look forward to going from strength to strength with our Children's ministry under their very capable and creative leadership. Please keep them in your prayers in the weeks ahead. 

The Sunday following Pentecost is the only Sunday in the church calendar set aside to honor and celebrate a doctrine – the doctrine of the Trinity. "The Lord our God is one," but he reveals himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, all distinct, but all one God. Simply said, it's a mystery!

Our readings for this Sunday are drawn form the lectionary in The Book of Common Prayer instead of those in the Revised Common Lectionary. Those readings include: Isaiah 6:1-8, Psalm 29,
Revelation 4:1-11, and John 16:5-15. In the Isaiah reading we hear a description of God the Father, in 
Revelation a description of the God seated on the throne. From John we hear Jesus describing the work and role of the Holy Spirit.

Belief in the Trinity is one of the Christian distinctives. When people suggest that all religions worship the same God the lack an understanding of the Christian God. As Christian people it is important to understand, as far as our finite minds will permit, the God who created us and loves us, the God to whom we offer our love and our very lives.

I'm so thankful to be a part of RCA –I pray you are too! See you on Sunday! It won't be the same without you!!
