June blessings, CLC!

As the season of summer begins, the church turns its attention to the steady, faithful work of the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives. Unlike the dramatic celebrations of Christmas and Easter, the season of Pentecost, or Ordinary Time, reminds us that much of discipleship happens in the ordinary moments of our days. The Spirit equips each of us with gifts and sends us into the world to live with purpose, compassion, and hope.
This season connects beautifully with our stewardship theme of Time. Time is one of God’s most precious gifts, and Pentecost reminds us that every hour can be used in service to Christ. Whether we are teaching, caring, building, listening, encouraging, or simply being present for someone in need, the Holy Spirit works through the ways we offer our time. In the ordinary rhythms of life, God does extraordinary things!
If you haven’t yet, please take a moment to fill out the Time form and share how you use your gifts in daily life. Each of us is a vital part of the body of Christ, called to serve God not only within the church, but also in our homes, workplaces, schools, and community. Christ Lutheran is excited to celebrate the many ways God is working through you to make difference in the world.
Extra forms are available on the blue Time bulletin board and may be returned to Elaine’s desk when completed. Thank you for the countless ways you share your time and talents in service to Christ each day. Your faithful witness is helping to build a more compassionate and brighter world.

In Christ,

Pastor Julia
