Doing God's Work for May 30th, 2012

Many enjoyed Memorial Weekend. There were special tributes to those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Some traveled far to visit classmates for the Sheridan Alumni dinner.
Pastor Sue combines Sabbath services quite well; the First Sunday of Pentecost and the remembrance of those who have gone before us. When Jesus left us for His rightful position next to God on the throne, He sent the Holy Spirit to protect us, guide us, and keep us connected to Him. Without the Holy Spirit, sin would take over the world. I find it comforting to know the Holy Spirit is alive and among us.
Christian family and friends who live in daily contact or far away, the Spirit keeps us connected. Yes, even better than the computer connections! Our souls stay connected in such a comforting feeling through the power of prayer. When we part, it is never “good bye;” but “see ya” as we know our fellowship has no end with the promise of eternity, where we will gather at the feet of Jesus.
June proves to be a busy month with fellowship and activities. June 6th at Grant City, UMW will meet at 1:30; also, 7 p.m. at the home of Jackie Wardrobe. Annual Conference is at Springfield, MO June 8th to 11th. Old Defiance is June 22nd to 24th. The moving days of the new minister for Nodaway-Worth parishes is around the 27th.
Where ever the Holy Spirit may lead you, remember those who gave their life for us to keep the freedom to worship and serve God under one nation. Above all, remember the one who gave His life and shed His blood for so much more than this earthly world can offer. God bless you this week. See you in church!
