We believe in God, Christ and the Holy Spirit. We know a lot about God and Christ, but how much do we know about the Holy Spirit? Sunday begins the season of Pentecost, a time to celebrate this God we hardly know. So instead of celebrating the birthday of the church as many will do this Sunday, I want us to take this week to get to know the Holy Spirit better. It makes the celebration sweeter when we know the one we're celebrating.
We know from scripture of at least 50 things the Holy Spirit does for us. Chances are, you are attributing some of them to God or Christ. The good news is, they work together as one. Now that's team ministry! It reminds me of Harry Truman's quote, "It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."
Often I am asked how I do all that I do. My answer is, by the power of the Holy Spirit at work in and through me Join us Sunday as we learn more about the work of the Holy Spirit, and give credit where credit is due. Let's change the God we hardly know into the God we long to know better this Pentecost season. Think about someone YOU can invite to join you at church this Sunday. Begin to pray for them and then when the Holy Spirit nudges you, reach out and invite them. It's just that easy....with the help of this God you may hardly know.
Rev Sandy, Pastor
