Fr. Tom's Talk ...
Historian Phyllis Tickle wrote that every 500 years, the Christian Church has gone through an era of major change, as if conducting a giant rummage sale letting go of what is no longer useful or relevant. Tickle believed the Church is in the midst of one of those epoch rummage sales right now. It doesn’t mean that Christianity is dying, but that the forms and structures of the church as we have known them are no longer holding. We are in a Liminal Season.

During liminal seasons, we are on both sides of a threshold, as in a doorway. We have one foot rooted in something that is not yet over, while the other foot is planted in a thing not yet defined, nor ready to begin. When we can’t see where we’re going or know with certainty what to do, we can feel anxious, discouraged, insecure. This is especially challenging for those who like to do things decently and in order. We forget that chaos is the pre-condition for creativity. We may try to power through as if nothing has changed. We may
strive even harder to reach some idealized future. We may try to control and regulate things. We may withdraw and give up.

When we think about the future of our church, our souls may be troubled. Understandably. We treasure who we are and what we have been. We are afraid of losing that. As a church we are called to enter the unknown as one community, pray together, draw on our collective wisdom, embrace the essence of who God calls us to be, and listen together to discern where the Holy Spirit is leading us.

Please let me know if you’d like to sit down and talk or enjoy a coffee, at a social distance of course, or feel free to call me at 785-670-0158, or email me at tbaker1102@yahoo.com. My office hours are Monday - Thursday 10 am - 3 pm. … Fr. Tom
"God's kingdom is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs." Mark4:31-32
The power of stewardship can be hard to measure. Our efforts may appear small, a drop in the bucket, but can have enormous consequences.

Ultreyal zoom

In the month of June… 

* We will gather at a safe distance on FRIDAY, the 11th, with a Zoom Ultreyal at 7:00pm.

* Like the cicadas, we have emerged from a time of isolation. The Reverend Galen Snodgrass of the Church of the Good Shepherd will give a presentation on “After the Shutdown… What Has Our Community Learned and How Have We Changed.” 

* The scriptural reference will be Colossians, Chapter 3, verses 12-17. You could read this ahead of time to prepare. 

* Music lyrics and the sign-in link (or phone number) will be sent a few days before our gathering. Simply click on the link on the announcement poster or copy and paste it onto your browser.
  
PLEASE SHARE this with your friends. And, invite those who might come to future Weekends.
  
AND, Have you started to “follow” the Heartland Episcopal Cursillo on FaceBook yet? It’s an excellent way to get news and to spread the word about the Cursillo Community to others.
  
Blessings!
