This Sunday marks a truly momentous occasion in the life of Christ Our Anchor—we are forty years old! Not on this exact day, but many of the milestones that made us an official church happened forty years ago in 1982. For many of us as individuals, forty seemed old; middle aged; maybe we had a hard time with that milestone. But in church world, forty is young!!! We are just getting started! Other churches who have been in existence for hundreds of years have a lot more history, but they also have a lot more baggage to let go of in order to move in who God is calling them to be right NOW–in “post-pandemic” 2022 where the world is changing faster than ever. Some of the changes to our community and our church over these last forty years may be things that we do not like or understand; yet we are a part of it.
We will use this Pentecost Sunday to remember our treasured history and how God brought us this far, yes, but we will also be praying about where the wind of the Holy Spirit will be blowing us next. We hope you’ll continue to be a part of it and a part of us.
