CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We are in the season of Pentecost. As Christians, we have the Holy Spirit to help us carry on the mission. On the original day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit enabled Christians to communicate to people of many different languages. That lead to the follow word from Peter:
“And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for plpyour children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.”
‭‭Acts 2:38-41 ESV‬‬
https://www.bible.com/59/act.2.38-41.esv
As Christians today, we need to maintain an awareness of what work the Holy Spirit has for us to do. Empowered by the knowledge provided in the Bible, carry on God’s plan in the lives of the people around you.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
It was the anniversary of the invasion of Normandy. I shared two stories from a book (Feet of Clay) written by a POW that was freed in Poland by the Russians shortly after Normandy. The POWs witnessed civilians being murdered outside of combat zones. So, I wanted to share that not only should we be grateful for those that serve and sacrifice in combat, we should also be thankful that our communities are not torn apart by conflict. We are not stuck between two powerful nations with destructive ideologies like those in Eastern Europe (and of course elsewhere in the world).
