(Psalm 27,7)<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is the prayer for our Sunday. The first word in Latin gave it its name: Exaudi.<br \/>\nOur Sunday is between Easter time and Pentecost, the coming of God&#8217;s Spirit.<br \/>\nThat is our position: we are waiting. As church we also have to learn to wait.<br \/>\nThere are two options how we can wait. When we wait for a bus of for an airplane we can read a book or we \u201cloose\u201d or time with one of our gadgets. The other form of waiting is: we do something productive. That is the form we have to learn as a church. We work hard, but at the same time we know that the result depends also from God. Therefore we cry to Him. The cry is the original form of a prayer. We ask for help, we pray for an advisor, an Advocate. Jesus promised us God&#8217;s Spirit. We are not alone.<br \/>\nHow can we discover the voice of God&#8217;s Spirit? We read God&#8217;s Word, we pray and we consult among our brothers and sisters. This is the Christian way to encourage one another. Let us move forward in this way.<\/p>\n<p>Reverend Roland<\/p>\n<h1>THIS SUNDAY AT BALBOA UNION CHURCH<\/h1>\n<p><strong>Worship Service at 10 a.m. \u2013 ALL ARE WELCOME!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Children\u2019s Sunday School Teachers: Beth Anne Gray &amp;
