PLEASE PRAY with thanksgiving for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Without it, we would continue to be a people thrashing about in murky water, clinging to the boat that contains our money, our possessions, our pride and human strength. We pray that we let your Spirit in to guide us down the path you have prepared for us. As Rev’d John said in his letter this month – let us be a Spirit filled church, loving everyone with an endless love.

READ THE GOOD NEWS:
John 15. 26-27, John 16, 4b-15
Jesus said, “All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you”
