Sunday School begins at 9:30 a.m. in Fellowship Hall with the sharing of joys and concerns followed by the lesson. On June 2, we begin a new series: Anything but Ordinary. This 12-part series focuses on the Abrahamic family narratives in the book of Genesis, and will parallel the sermon series of the same name.

The summer is considered a season of Ordinary Time in the life of the Church—a season in between the mystifying resurrection of Jesus at Easter, and Jesus’ birth, visited anew, at Advent. The lectionary texts for these weeks follow the family narratives of Abraham, which are stories that make the title “ordinary” seem laughable. Ordinary time is punctuated by a God who keeps showing up—persistently, creatively, and lovingly—in ways that are surprising, transformative, joyful, reconciling, and unifying. The movement of the Spirit is anything but ordinary. (Sanctified Art)
