While in Newfoundland, we visited the Aviation Museum of the Atlantic in Gander. We stood before an old bi-wing plane, explored the role of aircraft in the world wars, and even climbed into a functioning B-52 cockpit. At one point, I slipped on headphones and listened to an air-raid siren. Its note rose sharply, then fell, echoing with urgency. That sound once meant everything—forces mobilized, civilians sought cover, and all who heard it knew: the alarm had sounded.
This week, we turn to Revelation 8–11 and the seven trumpets. Like an air-raid siren, they blast into a world that has lost its bearings. They shake us awake, warning that we are under attack by the forces of darkness. And they summon us—not to fear, but to action: to resist the darkness within and around us.
I invite you to sit with this week’s passage and hear the warning for yourself: God’s urgent call to a world that drifts from the life He offers—life full and free. Join us, in person or online, as we continue our journey through the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
With you for Christ,
Jeremy

In the Mediterranean, the olive tree is an ancient source of livelihood and nutrition. It grows in poor soil, yields precious fruit, and can live for more than a thousand years. Israeli military and settlers have destroyed hundreds of thousands of olive trees belonging to Palestinian farmers. In support and solidarity with Palestinian farmers, the Olive Tree Campaign provides olive tree saplings to farmers, allowing them to remain on their land and earn a living. Since 2018, the PCC has been supporting this campaign and farmers who receive sponsored trees. Funds from Presbyterians Sharing and donations help strengthen Palestinian resilience and help keep their hope alive for a better future.
