Telling stories of hope at RFUMC

Ravenswood Fellowship United Methodist Church The Weekly Newsletter A Message from Pastor Erin The seven Sundays after Easter are a part of the Church calendar that builds to Pentecost. Pentecost celebrates the Holy Spirit descending on the people. During the seven Sundays after Easter churches traditionally focus on the hope resurrection provides. The hope of resurrection can be harder to see when our world slows down by fear of the coronavirus. But we believe it is our job as followers of Jesus to be on the look out for signs of new life, signs of resurrection among us. And so we will wait and watch.  Join us on Sunday to learn and tell about how hope is real because believe in the God who has power over death.  ALL THE LINKS YOU NEED: Greeter Training.
