May 21, 2015 This Sunday, May 24th Holy Communion - 10 AM - All are welcome to receive Communion! The gospel for Easter's seventh Sunday is always taken from the long prayer Jesus prays for his followers in John's gospel on the night before his death, and always includes Jesus' desire that his followers will be one as he and the Father are one. This oneness is not mere doctrinal agreement or institutional unity, but mutual abiding, interpenetrating life, mutual love and joy. This oneness is the work of the Spirit whom we have received but also await. Come, Holy Spirit!   Sunday school for children - 9 AM Sunday's readings: Acts 2:1-21, Psalm 104:24-34, 35b, Romans 8:22-27, John 15:26-27; 16:4b-15 Other Happenings:    May 24th is The Day of Pentecost! Wear red! Isabella Domingo will be confirmed in faith, and we will welcome former members back to St. Paul's.    Finance Workshops Begin This Sunday! In order to create a budget that best reflects the mission and values of the congregation, the finance team will lead a series of short workshops after worship on May 24th, May 31st, June 7th and June 14th. No decisions will be made at these workshops; rather, the finance team will gather information through these short workshops. We value your participation. Please come!  Cookies Needed for Synod Assembly: Each congregation is asked to provide several dozen nutritious cookies for the synod assembly's hospitality room. Please put your cookies in containers you will not need back, and leave them in the kitchen by Thursday, May 28th. Pr. Pamela and Craig Pyle will attend this year's synod assembly as voting members. Dave Pond and Vicki Pyle will accompany them as visitors.   Judy Faye is in the process of cleaning shelves and cabinets to create storage for our vibrant seeing ministry. The books and VHS tapes on the table in our community room will be there for the taking for the next two weeks.
