Funds raised for Camp Eagle Rock & the Family Resource Center – From Janet Wright: “Our total donation to FRC to $1915. Jennifer Armstrong wrote that they have already enrolled 4 preschool children in the summer program for Little House in the Woods. Three other parents have asked for assistance. Remember—these are working parents—who don’t have child care in the summer. Many thanks to all of you.”

Pastor's Note
On Pentecost, 50 days after Easter, we celebrate the Holy Spirit as God’s presence within & among us. On this day, we too are given the breath of the Spirit & sent out to proclaim God’s redeeming love to all the world. The Hebrew noun ruah can be translated into English as spirit, breath, or wind. Spirit is the most amorphous of these words. In Christian theology, the Spirit that we experience is the Spirit of the risen Christ, a spirit of service, a spirit of love, a spirit of resurrection beyond death. The spirit is uniquely in each of us.
Keep sharing your spirit and your gifts with the world. We need it!
