Hello Weybridge Church and Friends!
This week it was time to make an important seasonal shift in my life: from hot coffee to cold-brewed morning coffee. There’s always coffee and, like I am sure some of you do as well, the making of the first coffee of the day is a ritual. Whether I wake up ready to greet the day or, in the words of Saint Dolly Parton, I “tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition,” the first coffee is important.
This past week I felt it was time to switch from morning hot pour-over to overnight cold brew, which means I now have to remember to set it up the night before, make sure I’ve filled the ice cube trays, etc.
We are about to make a shift in the seasons of the church year, too. This Sunday, Trinity Sunday, marks the turning point between the six months of church festivals (Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Pentecost) and the preparatory seasons they bring (Advent and Lent) and the six months of Ordinary time.
Last Sunday on Pentecost we celebrated the act of proclamation and thought about the many ways that we as Weybridge Church proclaim our faith and where we could perhaps expand those efforts.
This Sunday is Trinity Sunday, when we will remember that God is bigger, more expansive, more surprising than we could ever fit into doctrine. This is our push into a time of putting into practice what we have taken in from the past few months of celebration and preparation.
I hope to see you under the Tent!
Peace,
Caryne
