A Letter from the Pastor

PENTECOST

With Easter and our two weeks of spring weather behind us it feels like summer has arrived.  At times, it can seem as though the rest of the Christian year is just plain, and maybe just plain dull.  Then Christmas rolls around and we can have another big celebration.  Well I hope this is not the case for you and for our church family because this month we are approaching Pentecost Sunday.

As we go through this month let us reflect on the instructions Jesus gave his disciples before he left.  He told them to go into Jerusalem and to wait until they received the gift he had promised.  Of course, the gift he was speaking of was the Holy Spirit.  What better time could there be for me, you, and our entire church to spend in prayer.  We should seek the guidance and empowering of the Holy Spirit for our lives and for our church.  Therefore let us be in prayer this month asking God to empower us and to show us what he has planned for us as a church.
