“Así preparó a los del pueblo santo para un trabajo de servicio, para la edificación del cuerpo de Cristo”  Efesios 4:12   “Espíritu Santo, abre nuestros ojos, nuestros oídos y nuestros corazones, para que nos acerquemos más a ti en el gozo y el sufrimiento.  Habita en nosotros en la plenitud de tu poder cuando sean añadidos nuevos miembros a tu grey, a medida que crezcamos en gracia a través de los años, cuando seamos unidos en matrimonio, cuando acudimos a ti en tiempo de enfermedad o necesidad especial y, al fin, cuando seamos encomendados a las manos del Padre.” Consagración de una Iglesia Libro de Oración Común, página 471   La Fiesta de Pentecostés de este año 2020, marca el 130 Aniversario de la fundación de la Iglesia Episcopal Cristo en Dallas. Cuando los fundadores de nuestra iglesia decidieron trabajar juntos para plantar una nueva iglesia, más que enfocarse en la construcción física, se enfocaron primero en la construcción espiritual del Cuerpo de Cristo.

“Equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ” Ephesians 4:12

“Holy Spirit, open our eyes, our ears, and our hearts, that we may grow closer to you through joy and through suffering. Be with us in the fullness of your power as new members are added to your household, as we grow in grace through the years, when we are joined in marriage, when we turn to you in sickness or special need, and, at the last, when we are committed into the Father’s hands.” Consecration of a Church Book of Common Prayer, pg. 569

The Feast of Pentecost this year 2020 marks the 130th Anniversary of the foundation of Christ Episcopal Church Dallas. When the founders of our church decided to work together to plant a new church, more than focusing on the physical building, they focused first on the spiritual building of the Body of Christ. They met together to learn, hear, and discern God’s voice, they worked to accept, support, and love each other. Then, they moved into action to raise funds, find generous benefactors, making plans to buy land and build their new construction, etc.

The spiritual foundation was first, and that was their priority. It is the same today for us, our beautiful building is important, however, the people of the church, each member and family, each face and smile, each personal story are what make our church a unique encounter of God’s creation.

As we celebrate our common history, please remember that the Holy Spirit continues renewing Jesus’ Incarnation in the flesh of our lives today as well. Be open to see His work in and through each person, be grateful for all members, benefactors, and people that have gone before us.
Christ Episcopal Church Dallas continues being a unique and blessed space in time where God’s grace endures and surpasses all hurdles. I invite you to strive to be remain faithful and to make God your first and only reason to be all He created you to be.

Blessed 130th Anniversary to you!

Blessings to All,

The Rev. Fr. Fabian Villalobos
Rector

Dear Christ Episcopal Church Dallas Family & Friends: The “church” in Greek is ekklesia, which refers to a “gathered community”.   Even if the doors to our church building are closed at this present time, our ekklesia by the grace of God does not cease thanks to having our "computer windows" opened worldwide. In this time of many uncertainties, we must evermore call upon God’s mercy over all His creation.  For this reason for the following weeks, we will continue to be the Virtual Church and be ekklesia, caring for one another and carrying the necessities of our “gathered community” and those of the world in prayer virtually to everyone. Maintain connected in our weekly Sunday and Wednesday Services along with Monday-Friday Morning Prayer. You will find the Bible Study Readings on the  Lectionary Page and the Morning and Evening Prayer at Mission St. Clare. You may use Zoom to connect by computer or cellphone and you may choose to Join with Video or Join without Video               ...
