"And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them."
Acts 2:2-3

Br. Scott and Sue joined us again after their visit to California which included a coastal cruise and time with their grandchildren. Welcome back!
Br. Scott led a beautiful Morning Prayer service this past Sunday. His sermon reviewed the many gifts of the Holy Spirit. While no one is given all the gifts of the Holy Spirit, each of us have been given skills and gifts. As Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 12 "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ . . . [we] have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many".
Thank you Scott for the beautiful service!
After services we enjoyed some wonderful company and snacks downstairs! Thank you to everyone who brought food!

During the past week Agnes, Diane, Teresa, and I repainted a large part of the floor in the basement! We hope to finish the hallway and bathrooms this week. Nothing like a fresh paint job to improve the looks of a room!
