Day of Pentecost worship begins at 11:00am; wear red! Coffee and Scripture is 10:00am Tuesday, and the Lunch Bunch meets at 11:30am Tuesday as well. All are welcome!

Pentecost is not just a day. It's a way of life.

That's the invitation in this final episode of the Narrative Lectionary year. Rolf, Kathryn, and Karoline dig into Acts 2 and Philippians 4, asking what it means to live in the power of the Spirit long after the flames die down and the crowds go home. And for anyone who hears the Pentecost story and thinks "that's not me," Kathryn has a word: the Lord is near. So we have reason to rejoice.

Tuesday at 10:00am - Coffee and Scriptures. All are welcome!

The Ascension of the Lord

On this feast of the Ascension, Jan Richardson invites us to reflect on the leavings we face in our own lives and offers us a blessing as we wait and pray for the coming of the Spirit...

"Joyful, sorrowful, bittersweet; planned or unexpected; welcomed or resisted or grieved: no matter how a leave-taking happens, it always brings an invitation, and it makes a space for the Spirit to come. As you navigate the leave-takings in your own life, how do you keep your eyes open for the invitations they hold? What blessings do they offer, and what blessings do they invite?"

Blessing
In the leaving
in the letting go
let there be this
to hold onto
at the last:

the enduring of love
the persisting of hope
the remembering of joy

the offering of gratitude
the receiving of grace
the blessing of peace."
~ Jan Richardson
