Swedish economist and diplomat and the second Secretary-General of the United Nations Dag Hammarskjold's famous words ring truer now than ever: "For all that has been, THANK YOU. For all that is to come, YES!"

His prayer of affirmation and hope seems fitting for our 150th anniversary Sunday this weekend. We will give thanks to God for our common life in Christ that spans a century and a half, and we will mark this moment with a grateful YES to God's good future to come.

Truth be told, we are small links in a much bigger chain of saints and sinners and heroes and sheroes who have led us to this new historic milestone. We learn from their witness and wisdom; their voices and stories; their celebrations and challenges. We are the torch-bearers of a long legacy still in the making.

While we will honor the past, we will also celebrate the present, and we will take time to embrace the emerging future.

Join us and hundreds of your fellow Pine-heads present and past for a beautiful worship gathering at 10am MST, and stay for a special luncheon and program at 11:30am (I hope you made your reservations!), and then linger and loiter a little more to take in the historic exhibit and CAKE! in our Off Broadway Art Gallery starting around 1pm.

Finally, it's always a good time and the right time to invite someone to join you for worship, a special event, or to "talk up" your church. The only way people know about Pine Street Church is if you tell them!

*Follow PSC on our social media channels, too, on Instagram and Facebook.

For this weekend, join us in person or online at 10am MST:

"Showing Up For Racial Justice" (SURJ) - Boulder chapter

God is doing new and exciting things through world mission! During the World Mission Offering (WMO) this October, Pine Street Church has the opportunity to join the transformational work God is doing around the world through International Ministries’ 120+ global servants and 250+ global partners. God can use our participation not only to change lives internationally, but also to deepen our own discipleship in Christ. We can take part in what the Holy Spirit is doing to bring God’s kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven.”

Through WMO every October thousands across the country celebrate and give financial support to ministries that God is using to transform the world. You can help us work cross-culturally to invite people to become disciples of Jesus Christ and to proclaim, through both word and deed, God’s reign of justice, peace, and abundant life for all creation!

Watch the above video to learn more about this year's offering.

CLICK HERE and select World Mission Offering 2022 from the drop down tab to donate to this special offering today. You can also give via check with WMO 2022 in the memo. Bring your checks to a Sunday morning worship service or mail your check to the church, 1237 Pine St. Boulder, CO 80302. We will be receiving this offering through the end of October.

Art has served many functions in human evolution. It tells a peoples' stories which give identity and meaning to the individual and community. It offers knowledge, moral values, pleasure, and even catharsis. It also expresses a culture's ideals.

In this fourth presentation in our new series, "Art FOR Life," we will examine art as a release of trauma and a form of healing. We will particularly focus on the life and work of Edvard Munch and Louise Bourgeois. Hope you can join us!

Please join me virtually this Sunday at 9:00 AM MST.

The Oasis Prayer and Study group at church is studying a book called: "Unexpected News: Reading the Bible with Third World Eyes." by Robert McAfee Brown. As one review states it: "In Unexpected News, Robert McAfee Brown looks at ten biblical texts through a new lens. Brown's analysis is concerned with how our reading of the Bible is dependent on our experiences and worldview. Brown sets out to understand how "third world Christians," that is, Christians who live in poverty and powerlessness, interpret the Bible."

The Oasis group meets each Thursday from 1:30-3:00 pm via Zoom.

If you are interested, please be in touch with Carol Simpson pastorcms@cs.com, or Mary Beth Mankin mbmankin545@gmail.com.

The Men's Fellowship Group has a new meeting schedule. Beginning immediately they will meet in person for Breakfast at the Parkway Cafe on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30 a.m. They will also hold a monthly Zoom gathering at 9:00 a.m.on the third Tuesday of each month. Please contact Bill Mankin for more information on how to join these meetings: mankin@ucar.edu
