Pentecost Sunday – New Member Reception – Church picnic
Pentecost Sunday is 50 days after Easter Day, and is the day we remember the coming of the Holy Spirit to Christ’s church:
“When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.” (Acts 2:1-4)
Red is the liturgical color of the day, in celebration of the fire of the Holy Spirit. The Contemporary band will lead us in inspirational singing.
Appropriately, several people will formally become members of Good Shepherd Church on this festive day. And it is the closing of the Sunday School year. A potluck picnic will help us celebrate all these special events!
