Just a reminder that Pastor Brett is on a ‘study and spiritual growth leave’ for the next four to five weeks.

Prayer of St. Augustine

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my thoughts may all be holy.

Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my work, too, may be holy.

Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,
That I love but what is holy.

Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,
To defend all that is holy.

Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,
That I always may be holy.

Pentecost!

This Sunday, June 8, is Pentecost.

Pentecost marks the day the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the apostles and other followers of Jesus, empowering them to preach the gospel. It's celebrated on the 7th Sunday after Easter, symbolizing the fulfillment of Jesus' promise to send the Holy Spirit.

Join us at 10:00 am as Rev Brian Shimer brings the message, "What are you expecting God to do?"
