Hopefully I preached with a purpose today. Of course it was Pentecost which is the birthday of the whole church throughout the world. So I took along a birthday cake. The congregation looked pleased! I had candles too. The youngest member of the group was about 40 and the oldest 89. I think they might want me to go there again. I had those candles that relight themselves if you blow them out. I said that we try to stop the Holy Spirit showing in our lives. I blew out a candle to illustrate. It didn't relight, so I kept my cool and re-lit it from a match and this time it did what it should and re- lit. It's a lovely illustration of how if we have the spirit he never leaves us and wont be hidden in our lives for long
