While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven. Luke, ch.24

The story of Jesus’ ascension ‘up into heaven’ has been rich fodder for Christian art and not a few cartoon classics. And for good reason — who doesn’t love the image of Jesus’ cute little feet dangling out from the bottom of a fluffy, white cloud up in the sky?

work is well underway at trinity gardens — clearing our vacant lots, planting our beds, preparing to add more beds, and planning for the addition of a new water system.

what has up to now been two vacant parcels of land at the corner of Elm & Gardner will, over the next couple seasons, be transformed into a combination of open green space and productive vegetable gardens. the vision for the land, which is owned by Holy Trinity and the Diocese of Spokane, is to make it a central gathering place for neighbors in this small pocket of West Central — providing opportunity for tending garden beds together and building community around a common cause.

the easter season is fast coming to a close, as indicated by this thursday’s celebration of the Feast of the Ascension, the day on which Jesus is reported to have been ‘taken up into the heavens.’ Ascension is the hinge feast between Easter, during which we celebrate our brief experience with the risen Jesus, and Pentecost, the day on which we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus promised would come to be with us and to guide us in his physical absence.

join other ht families on saturday, may 30th @ 4:30pm at Fr. Paul’s house for dinner and conversation about the future of children & family life at holy trinity. Paul and his family will provide the main dish for everyone, and others are invited to bring their favorite food to share with others and any preferred beverages.

Camp season is fast approaching, so it’s time to get on line and find out what Camp is offering this summer.

While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word… Then Peter said, “Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” Acts, ch.10

The Church has always given the Holy Spirit mixed reviews.

On the one hand, we owe our life to Her. On the other hand, She’s always mucking around in our business and disrupting our best efforts to control Her.
