“When Pentecost Day arrived, they were all together in one place.” (Acts 2:1)
Members and Friends of Valley,
As the story is told in the Book of Acts, 120 of Jesus’ followers had gathered in Jerusalem – his disciples, his mother Mary, and other men and women – all who had been involved in and touched by the earthly ministry of this teacher, healer, and prophet. Weeks have now passed since his death and rising again. What will come next?
“Pentecost” comes from a Greek word meaning fiftieth day. On this day the Holy Spirit came with wind and flame, empowering the disciples to proclaim the good news of the risen Lord to all people, each in their own native language.
Of course, not all of us will be physically together on this Pentecost Sunday. This year, it falls on Memorial Day weekend. Some people will have sacred obligations honoring fallen patriots; others will be traveling for graduations or weddings or marking the beginning of summer in some other way; others still may be blocked in at home with streets closed because of Blossom weekend activities.
No matter where each of us are this Sunday, we still wonder – like those ancient disciples – What comes next? I n worship this Sunday, we will recall these images of the untamed flame, the unpredictable wind, and the unrepentant groans – signs of longing for a better world. We will do in song and with prayer stations, inviting all to listen for the Spirit to speak to us – in this place and in our day.
On Pentecost, we give thanks for the gift of God’s Holy Spirit, who gathers the church as the body of Christ and sends us to share Christ’s mission of love throughout the world.
We wish Memorial Day blessings to everyone – wherever you are and however you spend this weekend – and pray for God’s Spirit to come and show us what comes next.
In Christ,
Pastor John

Knitting For Others
Inviting all folks from 12-100 years of age, who like to knit or who would like to learn, to be a part of Valley’s Knitting Group.
The group will meet on Sunday, 12:00 – 1:30 p.m.:
June 21
This group has been busy knitting prayer blankets and shawls for members of our congregation. It takes a lot of yarn to knit or crochet these items. Many of us have made items in the past but have not used quite all the yarn. Knitting for Others can use the leftover yarn to make items to share with others. We are currently making items for babies and young children. If you have any size-3 or 4 yarn that you will not be using and could share with Knitting for Others, we certainly would appreciate your donation. Yarn can be left in the box marked “yarn” in the Library. Thank you so much for your help.
