Weekly Greeting for June 6, 2025 – Pentecost Sunday, The Birth of the Church, Children’s Sunday, and more!

Good afternoon parish,

This evening (Friday, 6 pm, UMCA), Ryan Slocum and Mackenzie Renner will
present a Praise Concert. There is no charge, but a freewill love offering
will be gathered. Bring your friends!

Tomorrow morning, our men’s monthly fellowship breakfast will be held at
7:30 am. On Pentecost Sunday (6/8), we will celebrate the gifting of the
Holy Spirit, birthday of the Church and Children’s Sunday. I want to thank
our gifted and dedicated staff of teachers and leaders of children’s and
youth ministry for their hard work this past year. Bless you!

On Saturday, 6/14, 2 pm, UMCA, a Celebration of Life service will be held
for Betty Fake, and on Friday, 6/20, 11 am, Crosman Funeral Home, Lisbon
Falls, a Celebration of Life service will be held for Thomas Pederson.

As we release the latter days of spring, anticipating the sunny days of
summer, we celebrate graduates, fathers and family reunions with joy!
Remember, too, Sunday evening vesper services at Empire Grove (7 pm) and
program camps at Mechuwana! Camperships are available to all who attend
from UMC of Auburn.

God’s grace be with you,

Pastor Steve Bascom, UMC of Auburn
