God moves us to Create Common Good
As you read this, we are deep into “Ordinary Time,” a liturgical season symbolized by the green, the color of growth. God continues to challenge us together and move us to more, whether it is a deeper relationship with our God or meaningful ministries of service.
We are so excited with the various ministries opportunities that many of our parishioners are engage in. Some parishioners have been serving for years in ministries such as St. Luke’s Homeless and Shower program, Mama Hill’s Academy, St. Francis Outreach Scholarship Program. Others have been active in ministries that have been started more recently such as the Blue Bin Collection and Seeds of Hope. We are an active parish trying to serve the needs of our community!
This summer we want to spend some time deepening in our understanding of serving others, so we’ve designed a four week Adult Education series based on the Church Next class, “Creating Common Good.”
Together we will learn more about God’s call for us to love and serve others, what our responsibility and our response might be individually and as a faith community. We hope to together learn how to deepen in our commitment to a common good through our action and our love.
Please join us on these Sundays after both the 8 am and 10 am worship services. July 23 July 30 August 20 August 27
Faithfully, Rev. Peter Huang and Canon Hank Gatlin
