A Word from Pastor Paul
Dear Crosstown family - We have stepped into summer – the longer days, the warmer temperatures, the change of pace. May the Lord refresh us in these coming weeks. A few reminders
- Women’s potluck brunch is this Saturday hosted by Caitlin Rani
- Game night will be at church Saturday June 13
- Financial giving remains a need as we move into summer... our giving is short of our expenses...let’s catch up...I invite you to be regular, and as generous as you can, during your summer schedules
Last Sunday we concluded our sermon series on the Holy Spirit, the inner presence of Jesus with us. I asked permission to include the prayer from Samantha Buchanon that was shared during our May 24 Pentecost service. It has stayed with me. I invite you to pray it for us as a church family....
Holy Spirit, may we walk in step with you. Produce in us the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Shape our character so that others see Christ in the way we live and love. Let every decision we make be led by your Holy Spirit. Fill us. Let your presence be our breath. Spirit lead us into the fullness of your will, and let our lives overflow onto others. Empower us to be a witness for Jesus, who carries his light and hope that points to you alone. Heavenly Father, we open our hearts to the movement of Your Spirit today. Give us the sensitivity to recognize Your nudge to reclaim our time and the courage to follow where You lead. When You say “move”, give us the grace to take the step, and when You say "wait," grant us the patience to be still. Let Your Spirit guide us in every word and action. In Jesus' name, Amen.
-Pastor Paul
