Presenting my paper at the
Stone-Campbell Journal Conference
Welcome!
A warm word of welcome to this website! I trust you will not only come to know me better, but will find the visit enriching and helpful for yourself.
The goal in my teaching ministry and as a pastor-scholar is that the congregation and students would study the Bible in both a devotional and scholarly manner.
In addition, I agree with Alexander Campbell, the founder of the movement of churches which I serve as a pastor, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), as he wrote,
"I have no idea of adding to the catalogue of new sects. I labor to see sectarianism abolished and all Christians of every name united upon the one foundation upon which the apostolic church was founded."

MY NEW BOOK TITLED:
The Wisdom of the Cross and the Power of the Spirit
in the Corinthian Church:
Grounding Pneumatic Experiences
in the Theology of the Cross
It's a book that proclaims the Power--the Holy Spirit, who builds up the church and is also my theology of ministry for over 30 years as a pastor! I answer common questions brought to the pastor like, "Why isn't everyone healed?" and
"Aren't you giving people false hope by praying this way?"
For ministers as well as biblical scholars and professors.

Dear Trinity family and friends,
The new year has dawned and we often spend a few days reflecting on the past year and considering our dreams for the next one. For many of us, the last 12 months have been hard, and our hopes for the future are to return to some kind of normal.
As a church, we at Trinity are eternal, hopeful optimists! We believe next year can be better than just a return to normal. We believe 2021 can be a year of growth, and greater connection for us in Lower Burrell and our the world! But that won’t happen by itself. We are committing to actively make our world a better place this year, and we hope you join us.
We are offering three practical ways we can work together to do that – and it all begins this week.
As we continue to use ZOOM, Facebook and other social media, we are committed to keeping you all safe this winter!
No matter where you are in your spiritual walk right now, we think these opportunities will help you jump-start this new year so we can make it the best one yet.
1. Resilient for the Youth,
every Thursday at 4PM

1. Resilient for the Youth,
every Thursday at 4PM
Feel like your children are missing some balance in their lives? Today’s youth have really lost a lot with our ever changing environment when it comes to the effects COVID has had on us socially. Our children have had to adapt to doing so much on zoom already, here is an opportunity to add some fun to their weekly zoom routine while teaching them about God’s love. TUCC began offering something for the kids. “Resilient!” Resilient is a continuation of the Children’s message that children see in church or watch on the YouTube replay on Sundays. Join us, virtually, every Thursday, at 4pm, for Resilient!
Activity sheets are passed out at church or can be mailed to your children that reinforce this message. Then, during Resilient, they will watch a cartoon geared toward the same message followed by some questions to help them understand what that lesson means to them. They will also have opportunities to fellowship with their peers.
Please contact Mrs. Missi Anderson for an emailed invitation to the Resilient zoom meeting.

4. This week in worship
This year we will join with millions of churches around the country and globe by utilizing the lectionary readings for worship. Typically there are an Old Testament and New Testament readings. This weekend is the Baptism of Jesus, from Mark 1. Read verses 4-11 in Mark 1 and Genesis 1:1-5 to prepare for worship. Let us join with all our brothers and sisters in hearing the word of God (see Romans 10:17) & doing it in our lives (see James 1:22).
The habits we set for ourselves can change the direction of our lives. This new year is a great time to examine the habits we’ve developed and make sure they align with the person we want to be in Christ. Let us begin 2021 energized by building our habits around the purpose of our lives on this earth!
Pastor Cletus
P.S This week I received the first of two doses for the corona virus vaccine. Torrance State Psychiatric Hospital has given the shot to the staff and patients; they gratefully asked if I would participate. No side effects and I am fine. By keeping everyone safe, let's continue to love our neighbor and do our part to stop the spread of this disease in 2021!
