Sunday Worship – May 2, 2021 (Fifth Sunday of Easter)

The scripture for this Sunday is the story of Phillip and the Ethiopian eunuch. They met in the eunuch’s chariot as he was headed home from Jerusalem. They read the Bible together. As often happens when the Bible is read in community the Spirit was present and the participants were changed. Pastor Jim
