Together in Faith: And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Acts 2:2

The Spirit may not come to us like a violent wind; maybe, like a sudden inspiration, or as a studied response to a situation we’ve been pondering. In any case, the Spirit is calling us to give of ourselves in care and support of others like our church family, our community or the many in need further away.
