How the Spirit Moves Us

We had a great time in church last Sunday, the festival of Pentecost.  We celebrated the Holy Spirit coming to Jesus' disciples by tossing out bulletins, asking the music and worship people to contribute whatever way the Spirit moved them, and doing some of our favorite parts of our worship service while stopping to remember the inspiration behind each.  It was a nice day.

We want to continue discussing the Spirit throughout the summer.  I don't feel like I can do this alone, so I'm going to ask you to help.  Each Sunday I'd like to take a couple minutes for people to share how they saw the Spirit working in the past week.  Maybe the sermon gives you a new way to look at God's work among us, you look for it during the week, and share what you saw on Sunday.

We're not talking about huge, life-changing testimonials here.  We'd schedule those too if somebody wants to share, but this process is simpler and more inclusive.  All you have to do is watch for the Spirit in your week and tell us what you saw!

Nobody has to do this every Sunday.  Hopefully different people will have neat stories each week.  Start watching now so you can get ahead of the game!
