Season of Pentecost
“When my faith had become little more than an abstraction, a set of propositions to be affirmed or denied, the tangible, tactile nature of the sacraments invited me to touch, smell, taste, hear, and see God in the stuff of everyday life again. They got God out of my head and into my hands. They reminded me that Christianity isn’t meant to simply be believed; it’s meant to be lived, shared, eaten, spoken, and enacted in the presence of other people. They reminded me that, try as I may, I can’t be a Christian on my own. “ – Rachel Held Evans

From the PVCC newsletter archives, this week in 1975: Research on our building needs continues. The Long Range Planning committee has… interviewed architects, discussed financing with…the Board of Church Extension, and raised questions with the Wichita Christian Church Commission about the wisdom of tentative plans by Hillside Christian Church and Central Christian Church to relocate on the east edge of Wichita, leaving no Christian Church in the heart of the city.
