This Sun., May 28
Acts 1:6-14
The Upper Room event changed everything. It was a moment where the Spirit came and empowered early believers. With that impartation, that gift, there was a promise: "you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
It was a revolutionary moment in the lives of the people--a shift of power, a passing of the mantle, a challenge for leading the Jesus movement forward. This, we know, was the beginning of the church movement.
The church = a radical revolution of power in and through the people.
Come Sunday and hear the revolutionary words of Jesus to the believer and let us rekindle the historic, radical fire of the church, singing: "
Power to the people, right on."
Shea

We do not pass the offering plate at Gathering, but giving money back to God who gives us all things is part of our worship. Some of us give on line. Some give in person; There's an offering box by the main door. We will dedicate all our offerings -- and the offering of our lives -- to God during our prayers of the people.
- Gathering Food Sign Ups. If you are able to bring food for us to share one Sunday and have not received an invitation from Tori Vazquez for Sign Up Genius, please put your email on our yellow sign up sheet on each table -- circle it in marker and request to be added to Sign Up Genius or email
