Next weekend if all goes as planned (and during the past eighteen months we’ve learned to insert that cautionary phrase) I will be in Michigan attending a reunion of my high school class. Incredible as it seems, it has been half-a-century since the Class of ’71 walked across the stage and headed out into the world to make our mark. It was a different world, wasn’t it? Many of you are old enough to remember 1971. The music was better, and fashion was groovier. (“Okay, boomer” …) A majority of us grew up in two-parent households, often with extended, multi-generation families living nearby. We listened to AM radio (“America’s Top Forty!”), watched one of three television channels (four if you were lucky), and talked on a phone that was attached to the kitchen wall. In that world, the Christian Church occupied a central place in the culture. Local congregations were central to their communities. “Going to church” on Sunday morning was the default activity, if only because there were very few options. You don’t need me to tell you that we no longer live in the world of 1971. There are hundreds of TV channels, plus streaming services. And my phone is in my pocket! For a large percentage of the population, “church” and its activities are at the fringe. We don’t have to like it, but we do need to recognize it. And as the Church, the people of God, it’s the world in which still we’re called to worship and to give witness in our words and actions to the grace of God in Jesus Christ, who alone is its Lord. It’s fun to visit the past from time to time; but we can’t go back there. You can expect to hear more about “going forward” as St. Mark Lutheran Church in the coming months, and I hope you’ll accept the invitation to be part of the prayerful conversation. Pastor Deborah Wissner 
Sunday School will take place during part of the church service until further notice.
