Pastor Bob says: "Wear Red on Pentecost Sunday - the 31st"

This upcoming Sunday is the the final Sunday of the Easter Season. Next Sunday is the great festival of Pentecost. Some have called the day the birthday of the Church. Christians everywhere celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church. The color of the day is RED. If you have clothes with red in them, wear them on May 31st. If you have any red flowers, bring them. If you have any plants with red flowers, bring them so we can use them to decorate the church and plant them outside after-wards.

Next Sunday will be the last service led by Pastor Bob Isaksen for two months as he will be serving a short interim in the Stavanger International Church in Stavanger Norway for eight Sundays. He served that ecumenical English speaking congregation for eight months back in 2003. It is a congregation of people from every continent and has members from twenty different denominations. Their web page, if you are interested is sic.no. Our web page address has been shared with them. The Isaksens have promised to send back pictures from their time in Stavanger to our web page chathamlutheran.org.

During the Summer months, you are all invited to send pictures and greetings from your travels to Deb Ulmer our webmaster. debulmer@fairpoint.net
