As we enter the month of June, the spring-time/Eastertide energy really begins to kick in; certainly in our lives, but also here at 2^nd Congregational. This is truly a time of transition. We say goodbye to "school year" schedules and move into a summer/vacation mode. With new plants sprouting and blooming all around, we may be graduating (either personally or "with" our offspring), we may be relocating, we may be changing jobs, getting married, having children - A time to say HELLO! In church we celebrate Pentecost (May 31, this year) which marks the Christian Church’s traditional birthday. No longer focused so much on the death, resurrection and when is he going to return, the followers of Christ personally discovered the Spirit that Jesus was referring to: "I will ask the Father and he will send the Holy Spirit, to be with you forever. " (John 14:16). And that Spirit is still alive and moving among us 2000 years later! Come, join in the activities here at 2^nd Congregational and FEEL THE SPIRIT!
