From the Rector
I love this image of the Resurrected Christ. I think he also looks like the Dancing Christ. Filled with delight and wonder, moving in rhythm with the music of the spheres (or maybe a good Motown tune). A perfect image, too, for the Resurrected Body of Christ.
We have been worshiping at Christ UCC for one year and four months. (I know, seems like just a week, yes?) Our call in this time of dislocation and patient waiting has been to remain the Resurrected Body of Christ, filled with followers of the Way of God, who walk and maybe even dance along this Way, and seize an opportunity to understand how the young church felt after the resurrection of Jesus. They didn't know what awaited them. Yet they created community, met in joy and song, broke bread, cared for one another, and shared the delight of God's continuing presence with them.
We've been doing that, too, in worship, in our monthly fellowship brunches, and in our Outreach ministry. This helps us maintain our sense of being Trinity Church, uprooted, yet still Walking the Way.
Next Sunday (May 11), on Mother's Day, we will have our Second Sunday donation. See below for all the particulars, but this is the convergence of a secular (though deeply spiritual for some) holiday with the needs of mothers and babies. Let's keep up our momentum in these wonderful Outreach efforts to be the church and offer mutual aid to those in need—this time, the most vulnerable in our midst. Let us arise to the moment, and be the Resurrected Body of Christ!
Blessings,
Pam+
