The 50th Day of Easter: Pentecost Sunday, May 19

Worship in the Fellowship Hall

The Easter season concludes on Sunday, May 19 with the feast of the Pentecost. The name comes from the Greek pentekoste, “fiftieth” day of the celebration of the resurrection of Christ. It refers to the festival celebrated on the fiftieth day after Passover, also known as the “Feast of Weeks” and the “Feast of 50 days” in rabbinic tradition. We celebrate the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the church and in the world. The primary color of red on this day symbolizes the fire and power of that Spirit. So, wear some red on Sunday!

And, while the wind of the Spirit blows where She will, the air conditioning in the nave and sanctuary still does not! So, we will gather for Worship & Hospitality in the Fellowship Hall at 10am – with Intergenerational Faith Formation in the Parlor at 9am! Livestream worship on our YouTube channel from the Fellowship Hall is planned.

Come, Holy Spirit, and kindle in us the fire of your love. Alleluia!
