DEAR ST. ANDREW’S FAMILY:
It’s Pentecost Sunday, when we remember the arrival of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the church as we know it. A perfect occasion to ordain two new elders. The Presbyterian church is run by elders. In fact, the name “presbyterian” comes from the word “presbyter” or “elder.” May Ryan Doom and Bonnie Moore be filled with the Holy Spirit as they begin a new chapter in their lives.
SCRIPTURES: John 14:15-26, Acts 2:1-4, 14-21
MESSAGE – The Lord said, “Since I live, you also will live.” Jesus “lived” by the power of the Holy Spirit. He promised the same for us. This is a bold promise. What does that mean? The Lord’s own words: “the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.” The same divine Spirit which enabled and anointed the Lord in human form will do the same in us. The Spirit of Christ can bring life to the full.
