Trinity Sunday: The Promise of Divine Life
So, we’ve been marking time by acknowledging the redeeming birth, life, passion, death, and resurrection of Christ our Savior, and the gift of the Holy Spirit who, living in the believer, continues the work of Christ across space and time on down through the generations. What do we do now?
Sometimes when I get to this point of the church year calendar, I feel a little let down. All the fuss has cooled a bit, and now we have months and months of ‘ordinary time.’ Yawn. Right? So wrong!

Pentecost: Happy Birthday Church!
Every family has its own birthday traditions. In my husband’s family, you were allowed to eat sugary cereal and stay in your pajamas and play video games all day. In mine, we picked our favorite meal and cake and helped my mom cook them. Interestingly enough, the Church has her own birthday tradition. In it, her people wear red and eat bread and drink wine and celebrate baptisms. This tradition is called Pentecost, and it is our spiritual birthday.Every family has its own birthday traditions.

A Fond Farewell: Church of the Ascension Blessed as New Plant
We’ve been meeting together as the Ascension team for several weeks now, thinking, talking, and praying about Church of the Ascension. We are companions at the beginning of a journey, growing as friends and as people. Already we have enjoyed so much about one another; discovering our love of food and drink, sports and games, music and laughter. We’ve also been caring for each other, as we’ve grieved the loss of a dear friend so young, listened and prayed for deep concerns, reached out to connect and to love. At the center of what we’re about is Jesus – hearing his voice, making him plain, following him in this new adventure.
