From Pastor Katie:
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
Blessings to our graduating
seniors: Kadie Habana, Mic Skaar, Logan Tufte, and our pianist, Alex Knoll. You
are all ending and beginning an exciting new phase in life, and you have the
support and prayers of your church family.
June begins the season of
Pentecost, the season of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost is on Sunday, June 12, and
we will be having a worship service of readings and hymns focused on the Holy
Spirit. It is the day we celebrate the Holy Spirit coming upon the disciples as
Jesus had promised, and they are able to speak the Good News of Jesus Christ to
people from many nations in many languages. I encourage all of you to wear red,
the color symbolizing the Holy Spirit. One pastor I know wears red cowboy boots
on Pentecost, but sadly, I do not own a pair. If you do, we’d love to see them!
We are also going to be
letting the Holy Spirit speak to us through some parts of the Bible you might
not have heard in church before. We normally read Bible passages that go by the
“lectionary” – readings that are picked out for each Sunday and are on a
three-year cycle. So every three years you hear the same Bible stories. This is
a wonderful way to get the sweep of the Bible story, but it does mean some
things are left out. During the long time after Pentecost in the church year
(it will stretch from end of June to October on our calendar, but it has been
in the past even longer) the lectionary also offers alternative Bible readings
from the Old Testament, passages that are not normally read. We will be reading
those this summer, and I hope to preach on many of them as we get to know these
stories in our Book of Faith.
A Bible study will also be
offered for those who would like to explore these stories before we get to them
on Sunday mornings. Beginning June 23, there will be a Bible study on Thursday
mornings at
On a different subject:
pastors are given two weeks of continuing education time each year. This is
especially important for new pastors, as we get out into the parish and
discover all the things we have yet to learn! I asked when we were doing budget
planning for this year that my continuing education budget be increased rather
than my base pay, which is what was done. As a result there is a course in June
that I will be taking that will be very valuable: a mini-MBA program for
pastors offered through Luther Seminary and
I am excited to see what this
summer will bring, what the Holy Spirit has in mind for all of us. Come, Holy
Spirit, come!
Peace,
Pastor Katie
