The Pinnacle for June 3, 2022

The Pinnacle

June 3, 2022

June 5 Livestream * Order of Worship * Scriptures

A Word from Scott

Ordinary time in the church seems poorly named. After all, who wants to be ordinary? Ordinary time this year begins on Sunday, June 12, and takes us from Pentecost Sunday to Reign of Christ Sunday just before Advent. In other words, we are about to spend a lot of time in the season called ordinary.

But ordinary reminds us that we can’t be extraordinary all the time—that would be exhausting (and unrealistic). Ordinary is our time to just live—to just live our faith. The liturgical color green reminds us that this is the time for growth, for living all that we proclaimed during the extraordinary times in the church (Advent, Christmastide, Lent and Eastertide). It’s not as easy as it sounds. After all, we’ve made some pretty lofty proclamations.

The next few weeks (Pentecost, Trinity Sunday and Juneteenth) will launch us into the journey of Ordinary time. As we journey together, may we discover new ways to live out our ordinary lives in faithful ways.

Welcome to the journey!

Summertime Opportunities for Service

We have many opportunities for fun and adventure during the summer months. There are also opportunities for Northside Drive members to continue caring for and serving our community. The Missions Committee has prepared a flyer listing several ways for us to serve those in need. Click on this link to check out ways to serve. Several family activities are also being planned, so our children can be involved. The flyer will also be available in the narthex Sunday morning.
