By Pastor Tim White

Jackie and I had the opportunity to drive over to the Tri Cities to visit our parents for one night this week. I just love driving over the Cascade mountains. The drive is more beautiful than I can appreciate. The different shades of green on the mountains, the giant boulders, the snow that still tops the towering mountains, the blue-green lakes, the sparkling, clean rivers, the views of unexplored valleys and the blue-grey sky, are all just absolutely beautiful. That’s just over Snoqualmie Pass. Stevens Pass, the North Cascade Highway, White Pass, the Gorge, are all just dazzling in their beauty. And God made them all with his incomprehensible creativity. They have come through volcanic explosions, lava flows, avalanches, wind, and rain, for millions of years, to become the beauty we see at this moment.

This week I will be sharing from the Book of Ecclesiastes, trying to understand that God makes all things beautiful, in his time. And that’s true of you. God is in the process of making you more and more beautiful until that day when you will be in heaven and glorified by God’s love.

Don’t be caught up in a wrong view of yourself, your family, your community, your nation, or your whole world. And that’s because the best is yet to come, and God does make all things beautiful.

To make this service even more beautiful and inspirational, we will have a time for baptism as part of the service. What a great time to celebrate what God is doing inside someone’s life. He is bringing new beauty, new character, and bringing forth a better follower of Jesus Christ. If you would like to be baptized this Sunday, please email Pastor Michael at michael.fernandez@wacathedral.org. Bring a change of clothes and a towel, to get baptized in the waterfall. It’s a moment you will never forget.

Your friend for the rest of my life,

Pastor Tim

P.S. You can even decide while you are sitting in the worship service whether you would like to get baptized. We will have a few changes of clothing and towels for you, just in case.

You can catch the service online via Facebook Live, You Tube or the church app. 10:30am Sunday the 5th. Either in person or online, we’d love to have you join us!
