How do we use the power we have received from the Holy Spirit? Using John 20:19-31 as her sermon text, Pastor Rhonda Troll emphasized that the Holy Spirit’s power is given to each of us just as it was given to the disciples in the upper room. “As the Father sent me, I am sending you” is the charge that Jesus makes to us all, and with His power, we have the ability then to do great things in His name. Breathing the Holy Spirit on the disciples and on us reveals God’s truths to us, which is the Breath of Eternal Life.

Serving as acolytes and ushers for the service were Briley Ernst and Brannon Woelfel
