Dear Friends,

On Sunday we will celebrate Pentecost recalling when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the apostles gathered in Jerusalem after Jesus’ ascension. Our texts for worship are Philippians 4:4-7 and Acts 2:1-21. In the first, Paul speaks of peace and gentleness in the face of anxiety. In the second we hear about the rush of wind and fire and a chorus of multiple languages. The Holy Spirit is in the mix in both texts, bringing comfort and courage, gentleness and power. What might the Spirit be doing in our midst right now?

I look forward to worshiping with you on Sunday when we’ll listen for the Spirit’s leading for us.

Grace and peace,
Ellen

Dear Friends,

This Sunday, we will continue our time with Paul and his letter to the Philippian church (Philippians 2:1-13) when Paul paints a vivid picture of who the church is called to be, a picture modeled on Christ himself. We will also ordain and install our newest class of ruling elders and deacons giving us a chance to reflect together on what it means to lead and what it means to serve. Casey beautifully highlighted how deeply our call to welcome others matters. Who else are we called to be, not simply as individuals but as a community if we are doing our faithful best to imitate Jesus?

I hope to see you Sunday when we’ll wonder together.

Grace and peace,
Ellen
