Voice of the Spirit

Wind and Fire Song

(Sung to the tune of
"Are You Sleeping Brother John")

Tongues of Fire. Tongues of Fire.

Mighty Wind. Mighty Wind.

The Holy Spirit's Coming.

The Holy Spirit's Coming.

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.


The Wind rustled blue streamers carried by children dress in white.
Tongues of Fire followed with others dressed in solid brights.


A Descending Dove on a pole was lifted by one...

To usher in the Spirit – for Pentecost had begun.

Disciples carried Christ's message of God's Love.
Tongues of Fire offered comforting Words from Above.

Children and the Choir sang;
Notes from the Piano rang:



The Fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy,
peace,
patience,
kindness
and goodness.


The Fruit of the Spirit is Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control.

----
Honoring God's Gift – His Spirit that lives within Each of Us. Giving Thanks for the Outstanding Cooperation among the young and old in our congregation! Offering a glimpse to MANY of a Pentecost Celebration – which marks the end of the Easter Season this year on Sunday, May 11.

Singing in Spring

The

ice

is

out.










The

waves

roll

in.







A

shell

washes

up.







A

bug

takes

a

spin.







Trumpeter

swans

come

back

to

nest.





It's May now. Winter can officially take a rest!

Singing in Spring on this Minnesota morning.

Under the Power

traveling

tonight

Along

Life's

Road.

As the Snow Melts

New York's
Central Park
has its pigeons.

Our town
Lion's Park
has its wild turkeys!


How
the
green,
green
grass
grows

As the heavy April Snow Melts Along Life's Road!

This Snowy Morn...

a dark-eyed junco

hunts for food –

amidst branches

of maple flowers

flocked with snow.







Dan and Aaron
hop in the car
and drive to
firearm-safety class
wondering whether
next weekend's
Field Day will be
postponed.







"And rightly so,"

I think while
measuring
three-inches
on our deck table
as the snowfall
continues to grow

on
This
Snowy
April
Morn!

It's the 25th!

and
beginning
to
look
a lot
like
Christmas–

in April?



What's
Grandpa
Frog
to do?

Tell
the
kids
to go
back
to sleep
for
six more
weeks
of winter?


Here's to celebrating the Happy Holidays during this Minnesota Spring!

The Peepers

What happens when a track meet gets canceled, no practice is scheduled and a runner comes home early? This one made a new video – inspired by a reading blip (about spring peepers) on his MCA test taken this morning. Listen to "The Peepers!"
