“Thank You”
Many thanks to all of you who made my birthday so special. I am grateful that we were able to celebrate together last Sunday and also for the cards received at church and at home.
Alpine members are exceptional at sharing in each other’s lives. Not only the milestones like birthdays and anniversaries, but the expected and unexpected highlights and challenges that come our way. Celebrations are sweeter and suffering is more bearable when shared with friends who also share faith and history. Our stories are interwoven, and all knit together as part of God’s salvation story.
Last Sunday was both Holy Trinity Sunday and Father’s Day. We are family members through birth, adoption, and choice. And we are members of God’s family by being made in God’s image, claimed as God’s own, and receiving that status in faith. To know God as Father and Jesus as Lord indicates the presence of the Holy Spirit within us. Thank you again for being family together.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Don Wink
