During the season of Eastertide, we will explore a new worship series, The Spirit’s Fire. The season of Eastertide culminates in the wild imagery of the Holy Spirit appearing at the first Pentecost as tongues of fire that fills the disciples with power and sends them out to share the Good News. (Acts 2:1-21).

Over the next weeks, we’ll ponder scriptural texts that explore this Holy Spirit fire that; illuminates paths in bold new directions, inflames our hearts and sends us out in love and service, stretches our boundaries and challenges our comfort zones, and opens our eyes to the possibility that some cherished practices, entrenched attitudes and life-limiting perspectives may need to die in order for the Spirit to bring to life the “new thing” that God longs to cultivate within and among us. Together we’ll wonder, where might the Holy Spirit be encouraging us to embrace new perspectives or explore new directions? Where might the Holy Spirit be encouraging us to let go of programs or initiatives that have outlived their effectiveness? What might happen if we followed the Spirit’s way?

On April 18, the Third Sunday of Easter, join Rev. Peter Ilgenfritz as he delivers his sermon, “The Spirit’s Call” and explores Exodus 3:1-12 where Moses encounters God in the fiery bush.
