PENTECOST IS MAY 19

Fifty days after Easter, the disciples were gathered together in a house (legend says it’s the same house where they had the Last Supper), when suddenly the room was filled with a mighty wind, and tongues of flame appeared on their heads, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit.  They ran out into the streets, telling the Gospel message of Jesus, in many languages.  All the people who were there, from many parts of the known world, heard the Good News in their own language.

We’ll celebrate the Feast of the Holy Spirit (Pentecost) on May 19.

• Wear something red, the liturgical color of the day.

• This will be the last Sunday of Sunday School and adult education until next fall

• The Sunday School children will sing during the 9:00 service

• The Gospel will be read in many languages simultaneously, re-enacting the scene in Jerusalem on that first Pentecost.  Call or e-mail the office or Deacon Lydia Brown, if you are willing to be one of the multi-language readers.  Scripture texts can be provided, if you don’t have access to a foreign-language Bible.

• The following Sunday, May 26, we will move to our summer worship schedule: 8:00 and 10:00 a.m.
