Sunspots
Sunspots are highlights of the many ministries and missions happening on the surface of the Sun – That is, the Synod of the Sun. A region of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) with ALOT of dynamic and hopeful ministry happening in the name of Jesus Christ. We are Presbyterians in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. Sunspots can be anything from small congregational ministries, regional networks to international missions. They are caused by the interactions with the Holy Spirit. Like the cap on a soda bottle: shake it up, and you can generate a big eruption! Sunspots occur over the 11 presbyteries in the synod with intense Holy Spirit activity, and when that energy is released, solar flares and big impact can erupt from Sunspots. We pray that you will find inspiration, resources, community and connection in the Sun.

Pentecost - Rev. Libby Janes
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this Pentecost sermon, SPDR Director Rev. Libby Janes reflects on how the Holy Spirit enables people not merely to hear words but to truly understand one another across cultures, languages, and experiences. Drawing on personal stories of international friendships, seminary life, and worship, she emphasizes that the language of faith is ultimately the language of love—a love that calls us to listen deeply, honor the languages and stories of others, and embrace the “disturbing certainty of hope” that God is at work bringing diverse people together in Christ.
