Second Sunday after Pentecost
Worship Leader: Rev. Michael Lyle; Musician: Janell Kinzie
For Meditation and Reflection:
“. . . the Church exists for nothing else but to draw people into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became one of us for no other purpose. It is even doubtful, you know, whether the whole universe was created for any other purpose. It says in the Bible that the whole universe was made for Christ and that everything is to be gathered together in him.” – C.S. Lewis
