Our congregation observed Maundy Thursday with a simple soup and bread supper, followed by a short service of prayer, music and reflection in our Chapel. Maundy Thursday (also known as Holy Thursday) commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples.

On May 21, we celebrated Pentecost Sunday, which occurs 50 days after Easter. As described in the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible, the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples of Jesus Christ as flames of fire, enabling them with the ability to proclaim Christ’s teachings throughout the world. Hence, we celebrate Pentecost Sunday as the birthday of the church.
Our Knitting Kneelers ministry recently presented new prayer shawls to be blessed by our Pastor. These beautiful shawls are distributed at no charge to individuals who may need prayers and loving care during a difficult time.
PRIDE MONTH OPPORTUNITY
Many communities now celebrate PRIDE month with activities to recognize, honor and affirm the many people who have been marginalized due to their race, gender, ethnicity, or socio-economic status in our society. We believe ALL people should be proud of who they are. We offer this PRIDE bingo card as a way to raise our consciousness and present actions we ourselves can take to be more inclusive towards everyone. Can you check off enough boxes to get BINGO?
