Easter is wrapping up and we're headed this week for Pentecost Sunday.
On this day that marks the infilling of Christ's Church with the Holy
Spirit, the seasonal color is red, signifying the color of the Church.
Many like to wear red on this day to demonstrate the unity of Christ's
Body. Perhaps you'll wear red this Sunday.
Today's reading from the community scripture way is the powerful image
from Ezekiel 37, a passage that resonates with Pentecost as the giving
of God's living spirit to his people. If you haven't read it yet, go

Tonight's regularly scheduled Wednesday evening gatherings are slightly
modified. We'll still eat together at 6:00 for community dinner, but
tonight we'll gather in the home of Dana & Elise Parker at 12 Sewall
Street in Quincy (click here for a map). Bring food enough for
yourself. Elise will provide water to drink and dinnerware. An then
just before 7:00, in lieu of regular Bible study, everyone's invited to
walk on over to the Wollaston Church of the Nazarene for the opening
worship service for the New England District NMI Convention.
Here's the District Convention & Assembly worship schedule for the rest
of the week. You're all invited! (All services are at the Wollaston
Church of the Nazarene):
Wednesday, May 27 - NMI Service (7:00 PM)
Thursday, May 28 - Assembly Opening Service (7:00 PM)
Friday, May 29 - Assembly Baptism Service (7:00 PM)
Saturday, May 20 - Memorial Service (9:30 AM) & Ordination Service

Of particular note to us is the Memorial Service on Saturday as we'll
be able to stand and recognize Pastor Scott's life and service to
Christ and his Church.

We have no softball game this week. Our next game is Friday, June 5th.

This is the last Saturday of the month, so the men are eating together
for Men's Breakfast Fellowship. We're shifting time and place a bit
this month due to District Assembly. We'll meet at 7:30 at the Panera
Bread in North Quincy (click here for a map).
