May – A Month of Celebrations

We have come through Lent, Holy Week, and the Resurrection; now we move outward in joy and celebration!

On May 13…
It’s Mother’s Day or, as I like to think of it, “nurturing Sunday,” during which we celebrate all those who care for and nurture others, albeit family members, friends, or pets. It is about the quality of being a nurturer to others in our lives.

On May 20…
It’s Presbyterian Heritage Sunday during which we remember all those who came before us, who sat in our very pews during wars, who prayed for peace, who came for healing in their lives. We honor them and pass along this heritage to future generations as we support our youth.

On May 27…
It’s Pentecost—a time during which we commemorate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the twelve apostles and other followers of Jesus. It is often called the “birthday of the church.”

May will also be a time for the celebration of the Ministry of Music. We will be choosing the exact Sunday soon and will let you know.

Let’s get outside; let’s enjoy the weather and being outdoors; let’s plant and watch our gardens grow. The Earth has sprung to life; embrace it in joy and celebrate!

Peace,
