Help Stock the Sharing Corner
Our Good Samaritan Ministry invites you to help stock the Sharing Corner with shelf-stable food and personal care items for neighbors in need. Thanks to your generosity, attendance at our first Summer Supper in May was up more than 37% over our usual monthly average, growing from 35 guests to 48 guests served! As the need continues to grow, we want to ensure we can continue providing support, hospitality, and hope to as many people as possible. Donations may be dropped off in the designated collection boxes in the vestibules. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ in our community!

Gospel in Focus
May 24, 2026 The resurrected Jesus comes to the disciples in a locked room and gives them the Holy Spirit... “And when he had said this, he breathed on them, ‘Receive the holy spirit.’” —John 20:22
Discussion Questions
What gifts of the Holy Spirit would you like to receive?
How have you seen the Holy Spirit work in your life?
Spend a few minutes together as a family asking the Holy Spirit into your life. Consider the different events you have in your week, such as school, work, sports or hobbies. Invite the Holy Spirit into these places by praying “come Holy Spirit” throughout the week.
