Did you know that Carole Dawn Reinhart, a musician famous for her trumpet solos, was the first woman honored as a bandleader for The Salvation Army? At age 16, nonetheless! 🎶

She earned a scholarship to the prestigious Juilliard School of Music in New York at age 10 and gave her first concert at age 16. She went on to play the trumpet throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Canada, Australia, and the United States. However, her first international appearance was as a guest soloist and conductor at a youth congress in Toronto, Canada. 🌟

Aldersgate Day, celebrated on May 24 (or the Sunday closest), commemorates the day in 1738 when John Wesley experienced assurance of his salvation, or, as like to say, John Wesley felt his "heart strangely warmed."

The story goes that Wesley reluctantly attended a group meeting that evening on Aldersgate Street in London. Wesley wrote in his journal that at about 8:45 p.m. he was listening to a reading from Luther's Preface to the Epistle to the Romans.

"While he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation; and an assurance was given me that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death."

As we celebrate Aldersgate Day -- and Pentecost -- we remember the power of the Holy Spirit that ignited a movement called Methodism -- and continues to ignite us into faithful and loving actions today!
