June 8, 2014 ST. LUKE, BOARDMAN, OHIO Page Three Growing In Faith Together Each Day St. Luke is a GIFTED Community Pentecost Sunday And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Thus, Luke, the assumed author of the Acts of the Apostles, summarizes the incredible happening in that gathering place filled with the disciples of Christ. Each of us receives the Holy Spirit through the various sacraments as well. Today is considered the birthday of the Church. It was on Pentecost (which means fifty, an English transliteration of the Greek word for fifty Pentekostos) that the Church as we know it was launched. Prior to this day there was no Church, per se. Jesus followers were gathered as a community on this day, and the Holy Spirit descended upon them and filled them with the talents and skills to fill the Body of Christ and to become the Church we now know. In both Hebrew and Greek the word for spirit is the same as the word for breath and wind. We can understand how a strong driving wind directly from God filled the house and the disciples in a way that allowed them to transform a following into a Church. That same strong Spirit fills us. It is through living as stewards, from pursuing stewardship, that we can take that Spirit and strengthen our parishes and Church, to be participants engaged in building the Kingdom of God. As we hear St. Paul write in our second reading from 1 Corinthians, For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body and we were all given to drink of one Spirit. Stewardship Thought: In the Gospel proclaimed for Pentecost Sunday, Jesus offers the greeting of Pease be with you! In giving birth to the Church, Jesus reminds all who inhabit the Church that our primary goal is to spread the peace offered by our Savior. Let us take some time to examine how well we have been ambassadors of this life giving peace, for ourselves, and for others in need. Vocations. There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord Is the Lord inviting you to share your gifts in service as a priest, deacon, sister or brother?

June 8, 2014 ST. LUKE, BOARDMAN, OHIO Page Four An 8 session process for deepening faith. (See schedule below) Seeking Christ is for Catholics and non-catholics. For non-catholics it is a way to delve into some of the broad, basic issues of living a life in union with God. It can serve as a pre-catechumenate for those who are thinking of becoming Catholic or entering the Christian Initiation process. For Catholics, it can serve to deepen one s relationship with God and provide the opportunity to reflect on basic issues of faith rather than specific practices or theological questions. Sessions last approximately 1 1/4 hours and will be held in the M&M Room. The sessions begin at 7pm. The 8 sessions include the following topics: Seeking & Finding - July 15 Word & Truth July 22 God & Faith July 29 Jesus Aug. 5 The Holy Spirit Aug. 12 The Church Aug. 19 Freedom & Choosing Aug. 26 Conversion Sept. 2 SEEKING CHRIST team: Micki Biasella, Mickey Fata, Joe and Bev Vitullo, Jackie and Harry Franklin, Judy Redig, and Randy Smrek.
