In this past Sunday's Gospel reading from Luke 9:51-62 we read Jesus' response to a few who wanted to follow Him. His words to them are sobering. Jesus, in essence, said there is nothing more important than sharing the Gospel. To the first, Jesus said He had no home. In saying that, He implied to the first person, "Are you willing to live without any place to call home? For the rest of your life? The second person said he would follow Jesus, but first wanted to bury his father. We may see Jesus' reply as being a bit cryptic, but He said "Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God." So He was saying that as important as it is to address family needs, the proclamation of the Kingdom of God (proclaiming the Gospel) is more important. Yes, you will be ridiculed for making the decision I call you to, but it's worth it in God's eyes. The third person just wanted to say farewell to his family. Jesus said...

Week of Last Sunday After Easter - June 02, 2019 Pentecost is Sunday, June 9 Greetings Sisters & Brothers in Christ, This coming Sunday is Pentecost Sunday and you know that means wear some red when you come to church.  Pentecost is a major feast day in the life of the church and we celebrate the gift of Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit is He Who brings God's life into every part of who we are as persons. Holy Spirit is He Who leads us in the ways of God and of His ministry in and to the world. Holy Spirit is He Who teaches us, reveals God to us and to the world. One of the passages we could read on Pentecost includes "To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good." (1 Cor. 12:7) I bet most everyone, if not everyone, would agree that God needs to be manifest more in the world. God is love, and as the old song goes, "What the world needs now, is love, sweet love." God is made visible when we operate in the areas of our giftedness and carry out ...

Greetings all, Today is Ascension Day, the day we remember Jesus ascending to heaven 40 days after His resurrection. Here is a link to Bishop Barron's 8 min. video on this feast day and why the Ascension of Jesus is important to us. Remember, the Ascension is specifically named in the Creeds which indicates its importance in the minds and life of the early church. It has something significant to teach us! Here is the link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxDTY_9w6ws#action=share This Sunday we will not only remember the Ascension, but we will also be covering the second message in preparation for Pentecost Sunday, June 9, when Canon Bill Lester will be with us. That WILL be a special Sunday in that we will have a different service, but still with all the parts, and then some. God will touch every person present. Pentecost should be not merely an event we recall with fondness, but something we experience in our own personal lives and as God in His love and sovereignty ch...
