The Church sometimes calls our current season of Pentecost – in contrast to Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent and Easter – its “ordinary time”.  That is no insult to the season of Pentecost, because God graciously takes what is ordinary and makes it extraordinary by the power of His indwelling Holy Spirit.  In these many weeks after Pentecost – reaching all the way to the end of November – God calls us to live ordinarily in an extraordinary way: as God’s beloved who gladly make His love known in our daily words and deeds.

So, whether or not our Summer months are extraordinary for us in terms of vacations or changes in work or school, we continue to gather regularly as a community of faith, paying attention to what God is saying to us together.  We continue to recommit ourselves, week by week, to inviting the Holy Spirit to take us ordinary people and make us together something extraordinary:  the Body of Christ that – confident in God’s reconciling love for His creation – joyfully does God’s work in the world.

Please come explore with us what Christ Jesus is already doing in our Parish, in Montclair and beyond.  Come enjoy our community of faith, hope and love.  Come deepen – with your own divine gifts and calling – the common life and work that God has given us, so that we can be truly the Body of Christ on earth !
