Gathering of Spirits

On Thursday, May 16, at the Presbytery Gathering at St Mark Presbyterian Church, Susan Wei was examined and enrolled as a candidate for ordination to the office of Ministry of Word and Sacrament. A prayer was offered by Rev. Tim McCalmont on behalf of her home congregation, Shepherd's Grove Presbyterian Church.

Sermon: Offering What You Have

Scripture: Acts 3:1-10

During Lent and Easter, we sought to figure out our faith with Peter and his wandering heart. Some days he was daring and faithful, while at other moments, he stumbled and allowed his confusion to lead him in the wrong direction. After Jesus' resurrection, things changed. He was still far from perfect, but he experienced Christ's forgiveness and renewed call, and at Pentecost received the gift of the Holy Spirit. With a post-resurrection perspective and the Spirit's transformative power at work in his life, he was able to offer his wandering heart to God and live into a faith that changed his life.

This Sunday, we will continue our journey with Peter as he experiences faith after resurrection. We will be invited to join him in offering our hearts to Jesus and living our faith as Easter People.

Please consider making a special donation toward Per Capita.

As part of a connectional church we pay per capita apportionment per member to support the work of the larger Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). This year the amount is $40.65 and will be divided between Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly. Every Presbyterian shares in the benefit of the PC (USA)'s system of government, so every Presbyterian is asked to share the expenses associated with coordinating and performing the functions of that system. Please consider making this special offering, You may add it to your regular offering, but please make a note that the donation includes an offering to per capita.
