“Not by might, not by power/ By Your spirit God, send Your spirit God” (Your Spirit—Tasha Cobbs Leonard)

Today we celebrate the day of Pentecost, that day 2000 years ago when God’s Spirit was poured out upon the Church! In a practice of being open to God’s empowerment we each painted flames on this canvas, recognizing that the ways that God touches us individually brings us together into the beautiful mosaic that is the body of Christ.

This Pentecost Sunday may you know that God loves you deeply in all your unique ways and invites you to let this love carry you into community with others!
