Study Notes: This is a study you could use during our “Safer at Home” time, or at other times during these days of change. It could be a meeting devotional, or a study for your lunch break. Maybe you could try this with your family, a group of friends, or with your own cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Review Acts 10:44-48.
1. When has the Holy Spirit caused you to change your thinking about something? How often do you allow that to happen? Why?
2. How will you need to open your heart to the church launching a both/and ministry that is both virtual and limited in-person in it's worship offerings?
3. How has the Spirit helped you know you are embraced by affection? How might we be called to share that witness?

Prayer Focus:
* Pray for the people of India fighting the pandemic.
* Pray for the people affected by the shooting at the Oneida casino.
* Pray for First UMC as it tackles the transition to both/and ministry.

Please mark your calendar for our first Live Stream Service next Sunday, May 16th at 9:30am.

Prepare for worship next Sunday, May 16th, 2021, by reading Acts 1:15-17, 21-26.
