Dear Sisters in the Holy Spirit of God,

Our heartfelt greetings to each one of you. Over the last 4 years we have gone on the journey of the heart.

In 2007 we put on the Armor of God. Fr. Jim Northrop was our priest that year. With the shield of faith and the belt of righteousness and the sword of truth, we celebrated the many ways that we grow strong in the Lord. We wrote a poem about the Eucharist and put them  together in a booklet.

In 2008 we were clay in the Potter’s hand. Pat King led us through the process of pushing and pounding; firing and painting and baking, until we were beautiful teacups for the glory of God.

In 2009 Laura Prato and Kristen Strauss showed us how Trusting in the Lord with all our hearts was sometimes very difficult but always fruitful. We made valentines for Jesus as we fell in love all over again with Our Lord and Savior.

In 2010 we traveled down the narrow road that leads to life. Caroline Gambale-Dirkes warned us about Satan’s plan and encouraged us about God’s plan for each of us. We were led down the path of healing and consequent joy. We went through the narrow gate to Jesus.

Every year God comes to us in such powerful ways. He loves us so much and He wants to give us everything. So, are we prepared for our next adventure in 2011?  It is time to spread our wings and fly with the Holy Spirit. It is time to discover and rediscover the gifts that have been given to us and learn how to use those gifts for the good of The Body of Christ. Fr. Jim Northrop will take us on this journey. He will invite the Holy Spirit to come and refresh, stir up and enkindle our hearts to proclaim the good news and to commit to the service God intended for us from the beginning of time. So I hope you will be with us this year as we continue to unfold the perfect plan of God; not only for us as individuals but for our Church, our community and for the world. Revival begins in each heart, one person at a time.

“The hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshippers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth; and indeed the Father seeks such people to worship him. God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and truth.”  John 4:23-24

We are holding you and your families in prayer until we meet again at that beautiful place on the water.
