☘️ Trinity Sunday reminds us that God is made known to us in relationship—Creator, Christ, and Holy Spirit, all working together in love.

At Sky Lake, we get glimpses of that same kind of love in the relationships we build together. Through shared meals, silly games, quiet moments, and honest conversations, we experience the holy in community. 🔥 🎶

Yesterday at Fairview United Methodist Church our dear friend, the Rev. Jan Clark was presented with a very special retirement gift by her children, Liz and Bryant. For the last five months, Pastor Jan's family and friends have been quietly raising money in coordination with the Sky Lake Foundation to go toward the refurbishment of Lakeside Tryst here at the lake. The project will also include the addition of an accessible entrance ramp and the planting of native species of flowers!

All told, over $11,000 has been raised to date. And now that Jan finally knows, we cordially invite all those who wish to contribute to this fund to go to https://www.skylakefoundation.org/celebrate-jan/

We are so glad that Liz and Bryant chose to honor their mom in such a thoughtful and that we were all able to keep it a secret for so long! We wish Jan well in retirement from active ministry after more than forty years of service.

Our faith isn’t meant to keep us comfortable or silent in the face of injustice. It's something that stirs within us like a fire and pushes us toward truth, justice, and the dignity of others.

Today we celebrate Aldersgate Day! 🔥

On May 24th, 1738, John Wesley, pioneer of Methodism, attended a meeting of a Moravian society on Aldersgate Street in London, where he heard Martin Luther’s Preface to the Epistle to the Romans. During that reading, Wesley later wrote (at approximately 8:45 pm) that he felt his “heart strangely warmed.” He described this as a moment of deep assurance that Christ’s grace was real for him personally.

This moment became a turning point in Wesley’s faith and shaped his preaching about God’s grace being available to all people. It became a foundational moment for the Methodist movement, emphasizing a lived, personal experience of God’s love and transformation.

Today, we also celebrate Pentecost! It's the day when the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples as wind and fire. It marks the birth of the Church’s mission, as people were filled with the Holy Spirit and empowered to share the good news of Christ with the world. 🔥

Both celebrations remind us that God’s spirit is never meant to stay contained. It transforms hearts and sends the Church outward in love and power. We believe Sky Lake is one of the places where that same work of God continues today, and people of all ages encounter grace, grow in faith, and are sent back into the world changed. 🪵🔥
