Church Challenge: Richer Relationships
As 21st century people, we could miss the revolutionary character of these sentences. The early church, including early church leadership, was not a male only preserve. Remarkably for the 1st century, men and women were involved together. The twelve are mentioned by name in Chapter One, along with Mary, Jesus’ mother, and “certain other women.” After the Spirit is given to the Church, Peter interprets the gift as a fulfillment of the prophet Joel’s vision of the new age when “sons and daughters” would prophesy.
We are blessed at VPC with great female leaders, ordained and lay, and wonderful ministries for women to build relationships and deploy their gifts in God’s service.
Pray a prayer of thanks for our great female leaders, for our Presbyterian Women, and all our women’s ministries.
