Friends,

It has been an exciting time within the life of our church. We have celebrated our graduates, celebrated the birthday of the church with Pentecost, and learned about who God is this past week. As a reminder, God is very present in our lives! We may not recognize it, but we need to be open to God so that the Holy Spirit may reign in us. 

We are now entering into the longest and last liturgical season of our Christian Year. There isn’t a “Christian Holiday” until the first Sunday in November (All Saints’ Sunday). But we will continue to celebrate all the things God has done, all the things God is doing, and all the things God will do. 

Several of you have asked how you may celebrate God by celebrating the works of God in me through my ordination. My ordination service will be Sunday, June 6^th at 7 PM. With Covid protocols, I am only allowed two people to attend. I know that many of you would’ve loved to be present and celebrate God working though me. But I would love for you to be there spiritually. At the bottom of this page is a link for the website where you can watch the service online. 

Also, on Monday, June 7^th at 7 PM, the conference will remember clergy and spouses who have passed away this past year. Mrs. Lee Farmer will be remembered. You can use the link at the bottom of the page to watch the remembrance service. 

I can’t wait to be back with you on June 13^th as a fully Ordained Minister in the United Methodist Church where we can continue to celebrate God in all we think, say, and do!

Blessings and much love,

Justin
