No matter who you are
or where you are on life's journey,
you're welcome here! 

Dear Friends,
    I hope to see you here in church this Sunday morning, June 9, which is Pentecost Sunday, the day we traditionally celebrate the birthday of the church. We'll gather around what might seem to be a non-traditional Pentecost text -- John 20:19-23. This isn't the well-known "rush of a violent wind and tongues of fire over our heads" passage (Acts 2). No, this is a kinder, gentler expression of Pentecost. I'm calling the sermon The Softer Side of Pentecost. And while there are those who would argue this isn't really a passage about the birthday of the church, I would respectfully disagree. After hearing this passage, and my approach to it, I'll be curious to hear what you think about it. We'll celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion, Lynn Anderson will provide our Special Music, and our Band will lead us in a couple terrific songs. It's going to be a wonderful morning here at church. I hope you'll join us.

~ Rev. Mark
