Apostle/Apostate: So Let's Call It Trinity

   I can easily understand why people of the Jewish and Muslim faiths take issue with the whole notion of Trinity. After all, the idea of the Spirit of God had been around long before Jesus said he would send the Holy Spirit, long before Pentecost. And the whole idea of worshipping a human being – for even Christians confess that Jesus is fully human – does sound a bit bonkers. Even to this called and ordained woman.
     So why do we insist on describing God as Trinity? More importantly, how might this notion affect how we live our lives?  Join us Sunday as Shea and I start in the theological stratosphere and then come down to earth.  May the Spirit have her way with us all.
 
Yours ever in that hope,
Katie
Church Outings:  Let’s Go Out and Play - The Labyrinth on Lane Avenue
Sat., June 9, 10am
Meet at the Labyrinth. We'll have a short gathering, then folks can walk the labyrinth or wander the garden with friends. Note: You need to pay to park. If you let Katie Kinnison know you are coming, she'll keep an eye out for you.
“In a maze we lose ourselves, in a labyrinth we find ourselves.”
We are planning to build our own outdoor labyrinth, a maze-like pathway for walking meditation and prayer, on the southeast side of the church building. It would welcome neighbors and church folks alike with protective landscaping and benches: a quiet little haven of prayer available to everyone. Learn more about how you can purchase a personalized, etched paving brick and pay with PayPal on our  web site. See samples in the church hall. Order forms are also on the welcome table in the hall. Help make this a gift to our community.
Agora Series continues: More Leaning Into the Other with Jacqui Buescher
Sundays, June 10, 9:45am, Lounge 
Instead of learning more about poverty, we’ll learn more about how our own discomforts, wounds, and insecurities lead to our colonizing and objectifying “the poor” and explore methods of action toward honoring all our neighbors as essential partners and co-creators in bringing God’s Kin-dom vision into being.
