This week we gather to celebrate Pentecost and the outpouring of the Spirit upon the Church. Pentecost reminds us that we are not alone; God is with us in all times and places. As we celebrate this holy day in the life of the Church, we also gather to celebrate the confirmation of 33 DUMC youth. This is a significant day for our youth as they will affirm for themselves the faith into which they were baptized. I have reminded them that confirmation is not the end of the journey, but one more significant step on a lifelong adventure of being friends of Christ. I am grateful for Rev. Dianne Lawhorn and Brittany Viehmann and their excellent team of ministry servants who have led the confirmation experience. I am also grateful for our youth and their desire to follow Christ. We are a better church because of them.

This Sunday we come to one of the highest days in the Christian year. All Saints Sunday is a day of poetry more than prose as we consider our calling as Christians and commemorate those members of DUMC who have entered the church triumphant since last year. Come this Sunday giving thanks for the saints in your life who have pointed you in the direction of heaven, the people whom you still love but see no more. Each week we profess we believe in the communion of saints. What a gift to know all the saints we have known in life still remain, through the bond of the Holy Spirit, in fellowship with us.
