Thank you to:Cheryl for greeting; Mary for putting up the hymn numbers;Val for lighting the candles; Liz for playing the organ and reading one of the lessons; Frances for reading the other lesson and Cathy for presenting the offering.Our church was decorated with "Happy Birthday" balloons.
The children's story today was an inspiration from the Holy Spirit.I was going to bring some bubbles but couldn't find the ones we had left from our daughter's wedding...[only 10 years ago!!] You have to blow in the wand to make the bubbles. The bubbles do not end up all in the same place. Bubbles end up everywhere.....some here... some there.... we never know where. And so it is with us.... each of us is filled with the Holy Spirit and sent out... each to different places and different ministries. We never know where God is sending us.One thing we do know is that the Holy Spirit goes with us wherever we are called... to lead us,strengthen us, support us, comfort us and grant us courage.Thank You, God for sending the Holy Spirit to be with us forever. Happy Birthday to the church! [imagine if we had a cake with all the candles today!!!]
