God’s Acre on the GoGod's Acre On the Go: Worship in the GardenThis week’s message invites us to slow down and listen—to the birdsong, to the breeze, to the voice of God speaking through creation. Drawing from Psalm 8 and related scriptures, Pastor Chapin reflects on how summer gives us space not just to rest, but to be re-created. Nature isn’t just beautiful—it’s holy. From newborn babies to starlit skies, the created world reveals the glory of God and restores our weary souls. But it also gives us a calling: to care for this sacred world, and to resist the constant busyness that threatens to dull our joy.

But the true miracle? Understanding. People from many nations heard the Gospel in their own language, reminding us that the Spirit empowers us not just to speak, but to connect.

With reflections on the Confirmands’ faith journey and practical insights from Acts 2:1-9, 41-42, this episode challenges us to be Spiri...2025-06-0821 minGod’s Acre on the GoGod's Acre On the Go: What Does This Mean?On this Pentecost Sunday, we return to the powerful story of Acts 2, when the Holy Spirit descended like wind and fire and gave voice to the early church.

Drawing from Acts 6:1–8, we discover that meaningful service—like waiting tables or preparing Communion—is not only sacred, it’s the kind of work that transforms us. From Stephen and Philip in the Book of Acts to the Stephen Ministers and deacons in today’s church, “great work” begins with the willingness to serve others well.
