We are hoping she will be fully recovered and ready to go after Memorial Day. Until then if you are in need of any Pastoral needs please contact Lenise Eddings at 816-305-1361. If there is a building issue please contact Walter Key.
Our administrative assistant will be out of the office on vacation next week so the office will be closed till the 29th. With the exception of Thursday, the 24th. There will be a volunteer in the office that day. Memorial Day
Everyone here at the Wellsville United Methodist wants to wish all of you a blessed and safe Memorial Day weekend.
Remember that this holiday is not about the 3 day weekend(which is great) but about the "greatest" sacrifice that was made by those brave men and women fighting on the behalf of the innocent. For those who died on the battlefield so that we could live how we live today. Thank you for your bravery. Thank you for stepping up when the rest of us were to afraid. Thank you for defending us. I am sorry that it cost you your life. I am sorry for your family that went on without you. I am sorry we had to lose so many of you. We are forever grateful. I pray that you are with Jesus now, still watching over us. |
Pentecost: The Descent of the Holy SpiritIn the Old Testament Pentecost was the feast which occurred fifty days after Passover. As the passover feast celebrated the exodus of the Israelites from the slavery of Egypt, so Pentecost celebrated God’s gift of the ten commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai. The Holy Spirit that Christ had promised to his disciples came on the day of Pentecost. The apostles received “the power from on high,” and they began to preach and bear witness to Jesus as the risen Christ, the King and the Lord. This moment has traditionally been called the birthday of the Church.
