A Note from Deacon Johnine

Dear Ones,

I have made the decision to retire as the Deacon at Church of the Holy Spirit in Harleysville on Sunday, November 23, 2025 after 23 years of ordained ministry.

It has been a joy of my lifetime being the Deacon at such a loving, caring, and serving faith community over the last ten years. I do not think the faithful even realize how outstanding they are.  It is part of who they are.  They each have stolen my heart.

At this point, I do not know what retirement might entail.  I know I will want to quilt more, still volunteer in a new capacity, read mysteries and maybe even do some traveling along the way.  

I know our children and grandchildren want us to live closer to them.  Maybe we will move to Connecticut, Maine or even back to Michigan where my husband and I were both born.  I am relying on the Holy Spirit to lead us.

Prayer Chain

Here at Church of the Holy Spirit, we have a vibrant gathering of individuals who pray daily for those in any kind of need whether physical, mental or emotional. Your request for prayers can include members of your family, friends, or your colleagues at work. Anyone

This Prayer Chain is coordinated by Priya Eddy who can be reached here by email. You can email Priya directly or myself about any concerns which need the attention of our Prayer Angels.

Thank you for your consideration in joining this most worthwhile, holy ministry.
