Holy Cross United Methodist Charge

06/01/2026

As his appointment time with our charge dwindles, Pastor Greg Myers wanted to show his appreciation to our two pianists, Elizabeth O'Bryant Harshbarger and Vonnie Dorman Hinds during our worship service yesterday. Their flexibility to "give it a try" for some of his hymn selections, which we had not previously used, has been most helpful for his services. THANK YOU BOTH!!

The Lord is our Strength during the storms of life! Praise be to God!

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Storms rage, fears rise, and uncertainty surrounds us. But Psalm 27:1 reminds us that the Lord is our light and salvation. When God is our guide, darkness cannot consume us, and fear loses its power. He is our strength, our defender, and our refuge. Today, lift your eyes to Him. Trust that He is with you, and let His presence cast out all fear. Walk boldly, for the Creator of heaven and earth is your source of courage.

✨ Reflection: Whatever challenges come your way, remember that your strength does not come from yourself but from the Lord who fights for you. Stand firm, and let your faith shine brighter than your fears.

Please take a moment today to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to others and to our nation.

On Memorial Day, we give thanks for their courage, sacrifice, and commitment. We also hold in prayer the families who carry both pride and grief, and all those whose lives have been forever shaped by loss.

As followers of Christ, we continue to pray and work for a world shaped more by peace, justice, compassion, and hope.

“Greater love has no one than this; to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

🔥 Happy Pentecost Sunday! 🔥

Today we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit poured out upon the disciples - filling them with courage, wisdom, and a bold love that changed the world.

Pentecost is more than a moment in history. It is a reminder that God is still moving among us today:
🕊️ Bringing hope where there is despair
❤️ Calling us to love our neighbors boldly
🌎 Uniting people across every difference
✨ Empowering the Church to serve joyfully in the world

The Spirit that came like wind and fire continues to guide, challenge, and inspire us to love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously as the body of Christ in our communities and beyond.

Come, Holy Spirit. Amen.
