WEAR RED SUNDAY FOR PENTECOST!
Sunday is Pentecost Sunday - the birthday of the Church - as recorded in Acts 2:1-21. The power of the Holy Spirit came upon those early disciples of Jesus, and they began to spread the good news locally and eventually around the world. Where do we see the power of the Holy Spirit today? The Sanctuary Choir provides music; Robin is liturgist; and JJ & Ziggy join the children in a birthday party for the church.
That day of Pentecost, there was new life for each of them as they found their authentic voices, shared their story, and inspired others to notice the Holy at work in the world. Whether the language the disciples used was as familiar as what was shared around the dinner table or as foreign as the language of quantum physics or ancient Syriac, each found others who understood what they meant. They spoke of new life as always possible and a God who remains close when all seems lost. Maybe that’s when it dawned on them as well, that these moments of finding their authentic voice and the courage to name the truth about who you are and who God is, is itself like resurrection. (UCC)
