Below you will find a link to an article on The Federalist about an incident at Rocklin Academy that took place earlier this week. Rocklin Academy is a few hundred yards from Holy Cross. The article does a good job of bringing the issue into a broader context. I hope you will consider reading this article, and also attending the seminar we are co-hosting in a few weeks, Do We Matter.

This seminar is co-hosted by Trinity Lutheran Church, Sacramento, and Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Rocklin
Why do we worship the way we do? Where do all the sights, sounds, smells, and things that we 
do come from? How come our worship practices are so different from Adventure down the road, or even many other Lutheran churches today? And do we learn any of these things in the bible, or are they simply tradition that we receive from our parents and their parents?
These questions and more will be address in our special fall bible study: The Liturgy, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. In this video series, led by renowned scholar and pastor, Dr. Arthur Just, we will explore the Old Testament roots of worship, how the early church adapted what they had received, and where all of this fits into our worship practices today.
I hope you will join us, bring your questions, and let’s try to answer them together and learn more of who we are in Christ and what great gifts our Lord brings to us every Sunday!
Classes begin on Sunday, September 11th at 9:15 in the morning. See you there!
In Christ,
Pastor Peperkorn
