Sometimes we run a little late with our posts. Last month we had our annual cookie bomb, making 55 plates originally and another 10 or so with excess Coffee House cookies. These were delivered to neighbors, friends, shut-ins, emergency workers and others who needed a pick me up. Thank you to all the bakers, packers and deliverers. Your work is appreciated! 🍪

May 24, 2026 saw our celebration of Pentecost - there was plenty of red in the congregation, as well as on the Lord's Table and the pulpit. Pastor Joann's sermon "Upon All Flesh" reminded us that reaching out to all our neighbors everywhere, listening to whatever 'language' - including regional origins, lifestyles, politics, and even religions - others live by, we can benefit from listening, communicating, and being open to each other. May the Spirit land on you!

Blessed Pentecost! 🔥

Holy One, let your Spirit, our Advocate, guide us—preserving us from judgment, protecting us from sin, and leading us into righteousness, so that we may testify to the good news: fullness of life and joy for all; through Jesus Christ our Savior and in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
