Today we celebrate all the ways the Holy Spirit shows up throughout creation. The gifts of the Spirit are not something to be compete for, but are many and are simply to be received. For the Good News is that the Holy Spirit shows up again and again in our midst to empower us to serve the vision of God's Kingdom come.

Today we begin our “Anything but Ordinary” summer worship series. We’ll hear the extra-ordinary ways God worked in the lives of our faith ancestors. We remember God is still working in extra-ordinary ways in our own lives. We start with the story of Abraham and Sarah, and the unexpected news that they would have a child in their old age.

Jesus invites all who are weary to come to Him and find rest. We recover our lives and settle into our truest, God-created selves when we rest in God’s embrace. This week, our compassion theme turns inwards as we explore the lovingkindess which God offers to us. Come, and let God’s grace re-fill your cup this week.
