Phillip willingly goes where the spirit leads, even beyond Judea to outlying regions and with “outlying” foreigners, proclaiming the love of God in Christ that can heal and bless people. When Philip heeds the message of God’s angel and Holy Spirit, he is led from Samaria to southern Judea to baptize an Ethiopian eunuch who is the treasurer of the queen of Ethiopia: for no one is unclean or or unfit to be saved by God’s love and grace.  Relegated to the outermost court of the Jewish temple, the eunuch in baptism was blessed by the Holy Spirit of God. And Philip is transported to his next destination, on the coast of Judea. When have you heeded the Spirit’s prompting to reach out and bless someone on the margins? Who have you noticed and helped, who is not part of your usual crowd? What gift/s did you give? And what gift/s did you receive? Are you paying closer attention to God’s calls to see people in need? Why or why not?

This summer, we are returning to a UMCG summer tradition where we will sing one verse (or so) of a selection of favorite hymns as requested by our congregation. Scott, our Director of Music, reviews the requests and groups songs together by theme and style for congregational singing each week. Make your requests via the online form or by writing the hymn number and title on the back of the attendance card and place it in the offering plate.

On May 20, six UMCG volunteers drove to Midwest Mission Distribution Center in Pawnee, IL, (near Springfield). We delivered the trunkload of detergents (laundry, dishes, cleaning), 2 sewing machines, and a few plastic bag mats, and then stayed to serve there for the afternoon. We were put to work stuffing a mailing for them, then after that, had a tour of their facility, seeing where they collected, sorted, packaged and shipped supplies for communities needing help in the US and around the world. After the tour, we repackaged donated detergent pods to be given for use with cleaning kits - putting the equivalent of pods into baggies that would equal a detergent bottle. We returned home, so impressed with the many ways the Center finds to reuse and recyle donations received, finding organizations to partner with and bless people in the giving and receiving. We hope another team can go to enjoy serving there! ~Pastor Lisa Telomen
