People have told me they are praying for peace. If you are, you might add this prayer to the petitions of your own heart.

Pastor Ressler has moved on to Sharon Springs United Methodist Church as of 7/1/20, but is still part of Schoharie Mosaic, as SSUMC is also a member. I already miss this sweet church in this bucolic setting, and the hardy Schoharie County folk who warm the pews there.

I'll ask the current pastor if she or anyone else wants to administer this page. You might see me on SSUMC's page, but I can't seem to find it tonight. Ours is not the only Sharon Springs that has a UMC church......

My blogs will remain on binkas.tumbler.com probably forever. I hope to be writing some again soon.

God bless you, every one!

Tomorrow, Pentecost, marks Schoharie Mosaic's last online worship service for now, as member congregations and their pastors turn our attention toward reopening our individual churches. Surrounded by a representation of our faithful and enthusiastic laity, our clergy display their true preaching colors as we celebrate the birth of the Church. The result is a distinctive Mosaic of the UMC in the Schoharie Region. We pray that our worship time together will stir up the Holy Spirit within you.

A rough week, a sleepless night. All is now well.

At length, a meditation on today's Gospel. I wish you all a blessed evening.
