Scripture Reading
"I love you, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, so I shall be saved from my enemies."
- Psalms 18:1-3
Devotional
President Lincoln wanted desperately to defeat the Confederacy but at the same time, he didn't hold feelings of resentment against his enemy. His will to defeat them was tempered by his will to find peace and to dwell with them once again in unity. "We reinstate the spirit of concession and compromise," he said near the war's end. "It's the spirit which has never failed us in past perils, and which may be safely trusted for all the future." Do you hold hard feelings toward those who have hurt you in the past? If you're at war with other people or things, be prepared to forgive and forget. Like Lincoln, you can trust the spirit of compromise.

Prayer
Give me the listening ear. I seek this day the ear that will not shrink from the word that corrects and admonishes - the word that holds up before me the image of myself that causes me to pause and reconsider - the word that challenges me to deeper consecration and higher resolve - the word that lays bare needs that make my own days uneasy, that seizes upon every good decent impulse of my nature, channeling it into paths of healing
in the lives of others.
-Howard Thurman

Happy Birthday!
Pentecost is the birthday of the church, and what better way to celebrate the church than to give a gift of faith to a child through the
PC(USA) Pentecost Special Offering
. Money given through the Pentecost Offering helps our youth begin life with a strong start - a solid foundation of faith formed in the years from childhood through young adulthood. 40% stays with our local congregation to develops and support programs for our young people. 25% supports Young Adult Volunteers serving in communities around the world and growing as leaders through transformative Christian service. 25% supports Ministries with Youth to help guide our youth by uniting them with Christ and lifting them up as leaders and messengers of God's word. 10% is devoted to children who are at risk to improve education and provide safe havens. Our congregation is joining the whole Presbyterian Church in building our future by building individual lives in faith. Won't you join us? If we all do a little, it adds up to a lot. You can mail your offering to the church:
Attention Treasurer Pentecost Offering
.
Online giving instructions will come in Thursday's Weekly Newsletter.
