Pentecost Sunday
May 27th will be an exciting Pentecost Sunday at church! Make plans to
wear red for Pentecost and celebrate at the potluck Sunday School Finale
breakfast on May 27th at 9:30am. Pentecost Sunday marks the end of the
Easter season and celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the
Apostles. The most common symbols of Pentecost are fire, wind, the color
red, and the dove. On Pentecost Sunday, these symbols will be utilized to
uplift and inspire us as we gather and worship.
Summer Worship Series!
This summer, we will step away from the lectionary and participate in a
14-week worship series on the Practices or Spiritual Disciplines of faith.
Throughout the series, we will take the time to study and discuss the
following practices: Shaping Communities, Hospitality, Healing, Honoring the
Body, Saying Yes and Saying No, Singing our Lives, Testimony, Household
Economics, Forgiveness, Keeping Sabbath, Discernment, and Dying Well. We
will begin the Summer Worship Series on June 3rd and it will conclude on
September 2nd. If you would like to do some personal study on these topics,
please read the thoughtful devotions found at
http://www.practicingourfaith.org/
Throughout the summer months, we hope to engage all the senses as we study
and worship together. Several of the Worship Series topics will lend
themselves to elements of creativity in worship. Please be ready and open
to try new things. Also, there will be four Sundays during the summer
months that we will gather in the multipurpose room rather than the
Sanctuary. The purpose for the change of location is so that we may be able
to engage in worship in different ways: orientation of seating, new and
unique visuals, opportunities for interaction and congregational
participation. Each of the Summer Worship experiences will be meaningful,
inspirational, well planned and thought out. We hope that you will enjoy
and be inspired by these creative and thoughtful worship experiences.
