Ordinary Time

According to the church calendar, Ordinary Time is the time in between liturgical seasons. Rather than meaning common or mundane, the term “ordinary” (derived from the Latin root ordo) denotes ordered or counted time (First Sunday, Second Sunday, etc.). During Ordinary Time we celebrate the quiet, subtle beauties of everyday life. Finding our world awash in Divine Love animates us toward transformation and growth, which are symbolized by fresh flowers and green linens on the altar.

Oversight Team Reflections
It's an annual tradition each summer at Pearl Church for us to hear from the members of our Oversight Team. Our Oversight Team ensures that we are cultivating our rhythms according to our values, and oversees our practices, bylaws, budget, and pastors. Beginning August 2, each week a different Oversight Team member will take a turn to share, giving us a chance to know them more deeply and to hear what they dream of for Pearl.
