FROM PASTOR MINNICH: My Friends of Nativity and Beyond: support.

Pentecost represents the Really, the miracle of Pentecost happens time giving of the Holy Spirit, commonly understood as and time again in the life of Nativity. the birthday of the church. That weekend also happens to be Memorial Day weekend when we With that in mind, I will share with you a little shift into our summer schedule of worship devotional written by our own Jacqueline Quigley. services at 8 and 10 AM. The Holy Spirit has Incredible things do happen as we open ourbeen abundantly active in our midst in tangible selves to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We are and intangible ways. The dramatic growth of our living proof of those incredible things. I’ll see you membership over these 10 years, the building of in church. our new church, are all dramatic tangible evidence of the work of the Holy Spirit. But then Love, there is also the intangible – the countless times Pastor and hours that our people are together sharing in worship, learning, service, witnessing, and DAY OF PENTECOST [READ ACTS 2:1-21] Did you ever think of the thoughts that must have been going through Peter’s mind on the evening of the first Pentecost? Maybe he was thinking: “Did this day really happen? Did I really preach with such enthusiasm to all those people? Timid me?” Not long ago I didn’t have the courage even to admit I was a companion of Jesus! The Holy Spirit IS present in our world today. Each one of us is touched by the Spirit’s gifts! If we respond to the Holy Spirit, incredible things can happen! Peter and the apostles were inspired to go forth and proclaim the Good News. That same Holy Spirit continues to be present in our lives today. All we need to do is look around us. It is the presence of the Spirit that enables us to use our talents and abilities to serve others. If we listen to the Spirit, all things shall become an adventure, shall be full of light; and strength will be given to use beyond our imagination provided we are open to the wind and the fire. Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit upon us, and he will be faithful to the promise. PENTECOST STILL HAPPENS! —Jacqueline Quigley 2 FROM PASTOR STOUGH: Marcia.

We are using Fearless Conversation Adult Sunday School curriculum from Group. This is a unique curriculum designed to build relationships through authentic conversation. A fearless conversation is a healthy open dialog that addresses “wondering” questions about faith and God in a compassionate environment, using the Bible as our source to find the truth. It’s all about sharing experiences openly and embracing doubts and questions. As we seek to understand others through active listening, we trust the Holy Spirit to guide our way as we explore the question “Why is Jesus so radical?” This class meets in the parlor.

SISTERS IN SPIRIT THURSDAY, MAY 28 and THURSDAY, JUNE 25 12 P.M. ~ at Morgan’s Restaurant Our March 26th meeting was to be a review of the book “The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet” by Jamie Ford. Due to our intense candy making schedule, the majority of us had not read the book. Thanks to Edie Moore, our resident story teller, with help from Sue Young and Betty Ehrets, we were gifted with a wonderful review. We were also gifted with two new members, Hollie Diefer and Mary Jane Berger who is Bernadette Reinert’s sister. They are now “card carrying” Sisters-In-Spirit. April’s sharing topic was: ATTIC TREASURES. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Watch the bulletin for May’s & June’s sharing topics. At this reading we have not finished our financial statement for our candy sales this year. That report will be forthcoming in the immediate future. Each year we become more efficient and our outreach grows. At least four more church members became part of June Helfrich’s “Candy Making Team.” Five men contributed greatly to our growing business. There is no limit to Helping Hands from our Sisters-In-spirit members. Recently four of us collated the Synod’s newsletter when they asked for help. Our entire premise is sharing and caring. You can become a member of our group simply by joining us for lunch at Morgan’s Restaurant the last Thursday of each month. The sign-up sheet and directions will appear on the bulletin board outside of Fellowship Hall . If you need a ride call Beauty White-Hargis at 610-706-0330 or e-mail [email protected]. Bye for now ‘n God Bless!
