Have you ever found yourself frustrated while trying to communicate with someone? 

Of course you have.  Communication is hard.  Cell phones lose their signals.  Voice mail gets full.  Email servers break down. 

Even face to face, communication can be tricky.  Even two people who speak the same language may not really "speak the same language."  Each of us is unique, so our ways of communicating differ.  Marriages, families, churches, nations-all suffer from varying degrees of breakdown when communication becomes hazy among their members.

Communication with God, however, is a sure thing.  At Pentecost, Jesus' promise of a "helper" came true.  On that day, the Holy Spirit came among God's children, allowing them to communicate with each other.  More important, God's Spirit allows us to communicate with God.  During our happiest days, during our most tragic moments, God understands us intimately.

During the season of Pentecost, we remember that God's Spirit has linked us to each other and has connected us unbreakably to God.  At St. Paul's, we spend this season celebrating the ways in which Christ forms us into a community that supports its own members and serves the people around it.

If you are looking for a spiritual home, come see what we're about.  Even the most "spiritual" person needs a community.  Come check us out.  We can grow in God's Spirit together.

Yours in Christ,

Pr. John Keating+
Pr. Gregory Eidell+
