Hilo is an exciting place for a number of reasons. One thing that I enjoy is the variety there is here. While I would honestly love it if the sun were shining brightly everyday, I am always thankful that we live where it's so green and the air is so clean, which wouldn't be possible without all the rain we get.

Spring brings us Easter and the joyful celebration of Christ's resurrection and it also reminds us of new life. As we move from Easter to the season of Pentecost, the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in the church (Body of Christ) becomes a focus point as well. 

I invite you to consider how God may be inviting you to embrace the new life He has for you through faith in His Son, Jesus and how you can be open to the work of the Holy Spirit to help you grow in that faith. Rain or shine, today is a great day to grow more into the likeness of Jesus!

Blessings and Joy in Christ,

Pastor Mark
