flames of faith

This is Pentecost Sunday coming up so I may find something red to wear.  We started with some parking lot worship back during COVID and have continued to grow and prosper.  Bumps in the road?  Of course.  There is a core group of believers there who understand what it means to be UMC.   We are closely related to Cumberland Presbyterians and Episcopalians.  Lots of liturgy.  We believe in acolytes and cross bearers and Todaneka's latest outfit.  Lutherans are also similar in beliefs.  I only knew two Lutherans in my life and they both explained it to me.  

Our faith is reeling right now as we try to get back to the mission of being a believer.  From the manger to the cross and onto the road to Emmaus, we discover who Jesus really is and what kind of torture he went through to save us all.  What a gift!  I never feel guilty at all because I know that I am forgiven for making mistakes.  That's the bottom line ^j^
