Next Sunday is Pentecost, the birthday of the Church! The Book of Acts records the moment that the Holy Spirit descended on the gathered believers with the sound of rushing wind, and with tongues like flames of fire resting on them. To remind ourselves of the presence of God the Holy Spirit in us, all are invited to wear something red to worship next week!
