We are near the end of the Easter Season this week as we remember the Ascension and look forward to Pentecost next week–the coming of Jesus’ Spirit who promised that he would never leave us.

Come; pray with us this week.

Dear Friends,

As we wind down on the Easter Season this week and next, and prepare to remember the coming of the Holy Spirit into our lives, let our prayer be renewed, asking to be people of strength and peace, willing to speak truth-to-power, even if, and when, we must stand alone to do so.

Come; ponder this with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
