Provo Community Church

Are you a scratch or a bogey golfer? Which handicap do you have to have to be a good person? Well, with God and our church golf crew it doesn’t really matter. Join us this Sunday, May 30th, after church for a round of golf. At least five people are going and we got room for more. We are probably going to play at Fox Hollow. There’s no need to RSVP just bring your gear to church!

A Reflection for Trinity Sunday: The Christian God is bigger than just Heavenly Father. As a matter of fact there are more names for God in the Bible than anyone could think of. And yes: They include Mother, Doctor, Eagle, Bear, Oppressor, Enemy and many more. Jesus is not only God’s Son but also the son of man, the good shepherd, the lamb of God, a drunkard and a criminal. The Holy Spirit is not a Ghost, but God’s presence, a wind, a fire, comforter, counselor, advocate. These three have one thing in common: They are equally God. Once you buy into one of them you get the other two for free. The next time you pray you may want to reconsider the salutation you use to address God and open yourself up to the greatness of the Trinity.

This Sunday May 23rd at 10.30 will be our celebration of Pentecost. During our service we will have a special intercultural communion.  Following our service we will have a BBQ.  Please bring a salad or dessert.

This Sunday we will also be accepting our Strengthen the Church offering. Your gift to Strengthen the Church builds the UCC’s future now by funding the Stillspeaking Ministry, new and renewing churches, young and young adult ministries, and lay and pastoral formation-especially among women and many other people.

This Thursday, May 13th, is Ascension Day, the day Jesus has been taken up into heaven. To commemorate this Holy Day we are going to worship as close to the sky as we can: Up Provo Canyon in Vivian Park. Join us for a worship service under the blue sky followed by a BBQ.
The fun starts at 6 pm.
Please bring a salad or dessert.
