Reflections From Sunday Evening

We have had a good Pentecost Day. Somehow we kept things straight and baptized an adult, baptized and confirmed a student, baptized three children and received new members. Thanks to Pastors Ginger and Curtis for keeping things on track! This is a good day to be reminded of what the Holy Spirit does in our life. The life of following Jesus is not about keeping a list of rules but of walking in the Spirit. One of the more challenging ideas for many is that the Christian life is not about being good and doing good things. There is certainly nothing wrong with being good and doing good but we are talking about something more. Keep this in mnind. The Holy Spirit takes good, moral people who seek to be good and do good and changes lives to create grace-filled people who declare the wonders of God. On another note...graduations parties, graduations...significant days in the lives of many of our students and families. Congratulations. Go boldly into the next chapter of your life! It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too. steve
