Greetings,
Before I start into the info
for Sunday, I just want to say a big thank you to those involved in the recent
Messy Church and the Ante Meridiem Concert. Both required a lot of work,
but were tremendously successful. I hope you check out our Facebook page
(https://www.facebook.com/SpirtWestUnitedChurch ) for pictures of last Saturday’s Messy
Church. And because of the success of the concert, we may see more of
Ante Meridiem in the future.
Sunday Worship and
Family BBQ
This Sunday is Pentecost, the
feast of the coming of the Holy Spirit. It is often viewed as the
Birthday of the Church. It was the occasion when the followers of Jesus received
the “power” to do what they had be commissioned to do. We believe that
the Holy Spirit is still at work in the Church, but rushing winds and tongues
of fire are a bit rare in your average United Church. So what does the
work of the Spirit look like today? Are we using the gifts Paul talks
about in his first letter to the church at Corinth? This is also the
Sunday just prior to the 89th Anniversary of the formation of the
United Church of Canada (actual date: June 10, 1925), so we will be marking
that event as well. And just to make it even more interesting, this
Sunday marks the conclusion of the Sunday School Program (until the
fall). There will be some presentations by Edina. And there will be
CAKE. The Service will be followed by a Family BBQ, so come on out and
bring the whole family!
The Readings
are Acts 2: 1-21 and 1 Corinthians 12: 3b-13. The Sermon title is
“Our women see visions, our men clear their eyes”
Men’s
Breakfast
There will be a
Men’s Breakfast on Saturday morning, June 21 at 8:00 am in the Lower Hall. Each
man usually contributes $10 to cover the cost of the food and to build up the
Men’s Breakfast Maintenance Fund. All men are welcome to attend.
Women’s Group Supper
Meeting
The women of Spirit West are
gathering for a Supper Meeting on Monday, June 23 at 6:30 pm in the Lower
Hall. More information will follow, All women welcome!
