PASTOR'S MESSAGE AND HERITAGE HAPPENINGS FOR MAY 20

O Come, O Holy Spirit, come!

Come as holy fire and burn in us,

Come as holy wind and cleanse us,

Come as holy light and lead us,

Come as holy truth and teach us,

Come as holy forgiveness and free us,

Come as holy love and enfold us,

Come as holy power and enable us,

Come as holy life and dwell in us.

Come, Holy Spirit, and increase in us your gifts of grace

Convict us, convert us,

Consecrate us, until we are wholly yours

And transform us into the image of Christ.  Amen.

 

It’s Pentecost Sunday! The church will be decorated in red, orange and yellow–colors of fire.  Come, be renewed in the power of God and meet seven new members to add to our blaze!
