Jan Richardson writes in her "Pentecost Blessing", '"This is the blessing that blazes among us. when we speak into the words strange to our ears. When we finally listen into the chaos. When we breathe together at last."  She captures the power, mystery, breath, fire, utterance, speaking in tongues, communication across differences, wind, embodiment, and especially the communal/community nature of this holy day so beautifully in these words. This Sunday we will celebrate and be blessed by this great Pentecost threshold crossing that marks the birth of the church. Join us as we explore Acts 2:1-18. And as we open ourselves more fully to the community work of "Listening into the Chaos Together: Embracing The Pentecost Blessing that Blazes (pur: πῦρ), Among Us."  I look forward to being with you on Zoom for this holy and celebratory day. See you there! -Rev. Jeanne

Scripture Seekers just started a new Bible Study on the Gospel of Mark. And we invite you to join (or rejoin) us!

The book we are using is: "Mark for Everyone" (The 20th Anniversary Edition) By N.T. (Tom) Wright. I'm sure "Books on B" would order it for you, or it is available at this link in paperback or e-book. There is also a larger print version floating around:  Mark for Everyone book by N. T. Wright, Mark Price: 9780664266387 

There are many in our nation who are really distorting the Christian scriptures, and teachings of Jesus beyond recognition right now. The stakes are very high. And as we navigate that, I think it important that we remain committed to rooting ourselves in the scriptures, and exploring what Jesus really said and taught during these challenging times.

I look forward to accompanying you on this journey. If you have any questions. Please let me know.  See you'all @5:30 

- With Infinite Love and Gratitude, Rev. Jeanne.

Shel Silverstein, in his wonderful book of poetry (for kids and adults) called "Falling Up" writes,  "I tripped on my shoelace And I fell up— Up to the roof tops, Up over the town, Up past the tree tops, Up over the mountains, Up where the colors blend into the sounds. But it got me so dizzy- When I looked around, I got sick to my stomach And I threw down." This beautifully captures what ascension really is for us. And it isn't all up. For us really, it is more up, down, and sideways. (In fact if we go up to fast and far we will find ourselves "throwing down." aka: spiritual bypassing). Join us this Sunday as we celebrate Jesus' ascension, and our calling to ascend with him (up, down, and sideways) in the latter part of Luke 24. I look forward to being with you on Zoom! Don't forget to bring your communion elements, as we will be sharing Holy Communion together. -Rev. Jeanne
