Watch for sign up sheets in the narthex SCHOOL sore GRADUATES Congratulations to: Casey VanValkenburgh who will graduate from Johnstown High School and will be attending Alfred State in the fall. Veronica Peck graduating from Gloversville High School plans to attend SUNY in New Paltz in the fall. ‘The Changing Colors of the Seasons of the Church Thaye enjoyed writing about the seasons of the church. This series was begun last fall. ‘This will be the last installment. June Sundays begin with the observance of Pentecost on the fourth of ay June. “Peute” is Greck for muliples of five as in the pentagon. In the c of Pentecost it means 50. Pentecost is the 50" day alter Easter Sunday. It Pee Was a Jewish festival long before it took on a Christian character. ‘The Jewish Pentecost celebrates the revelation of the 10 commandments. During the observance of this in Jerusalem the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles as they were in hiding from the same authorities who had Jesus crucified less than two months earlier While praying, the Holy Spirit drove them out of hiding and onto the streets where they began preaching in every language of those in Jerusalem for the festival. Many call Pentecost the birthday of the church because it was the day Jesus’ followers came out of hiding and the church began to grow as the Gospel was proclaimed. ‘The Holy Spirit was reported to have descended as tongues of fire and so the color of the day is red. We will make it more special with confirmation, red geraniums, and Bell Choir music. ‘The following Sunday the colors will be back to white as we celebrate the majesty of God the eternal three in one. The day is called Holy Trinity. The Lutheran Church adheres to the three historic creeds of the church. Because it is so much longer, the Athanasian Creed has traditionally only been used on Holy ‘Trinity. Those who dread its’ length will be happy to note that there apparently was not room for it in the hymnal we are now using. Starting June 18" and continuing through October 22, the colors will be green as we come full circle and once again return to the time of parables and stories of teaching and healing, a RO aa NEY Lp News Here at Grace we will spend the summer months singing our favorite hymns. Please take a moment to look through our new hymmals and write the title, (or just the number from our new hymn books), of your favorite hymn(s) and drop it in the box in the narthex so that I can put them on our schedule for June, July and August. Thank you for sharing! ~ Darlene é Our Grace Chancel Choir is open to any teen or adult who loves to sing and has a desire to help lead our Sunday morning worship.
