Dear Friends in Christ -
The season of Easter has passed without many posts on this blog. Ironically, for St. Paul's the season of Resurrection has meant many, many funerals and many, many visits to people who are elderly or ill, including my own parents. Time does fly - when we're having fun and when we're tending to things that are urgent and important.
I'm hoping that tomorrow's celebration of Pentecost will mark the beginning of a new season - not only a new season on the calendar, but also a season of fresh encounter with God's Spirit. When I talk to people and when I read the newspaper, it seems like I'm not the only one who could use a dose of Spirit goodness and power!
A song has been playing in my mind today, a song that I learned as a child:
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is peace.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is love.
There is comfort in life's darkest hour.
There is light and life.
There is help and power,
In the Spirit,
In the Spirit of the Lord.
As we gather tomorrow for worship, may we bask together in this Holy Spirit, and may this Spirit empower us for new ways of living His light in our daily lives.
Faithfully,
Janet+
