Restoring all people to unity with God and each other in Christ

Abram Blessed by Melchizedek

    

After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley). And King Melchizedek of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was priest of God Most High. He blessed him and said,
   Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
   maker of heaven and earth; 

   and blessed be God Most High,
   who has delivered your enemies into your hand!
And Abram gave him one-tenth of everything.

                                         

                                                 - Genesis 14:17-20

The purpose of this fund is to provide additional income to the church in the areas of ourtreach and evangelism.

Christmas Bags for Good Samaritan Community Services


It's that time of year again! The time to share our many blessings with others. Good Samaritan Community Services collects Christmas Bags filled with food items for those less fortunate. This makes a perfect gift for the person who "has everything" - a gift to help someone else. If you are busy or prefer not to shop, you can make a $16 online donation (per bag) and volunteers will "shop" for you! You may also make the check payable to Holy Spirit with Christmas Bags in the memo line, mail it in or drop it in the offering plate, and it will be taken care of for you. How easy is that?! Thank you, in advance, for your generous support.
