ANNOUNCEMENTS
Today is Pentecost! Christmas we celebrate our Savior dwelling WITH us. Pentecost we celebrate our Savior dwelling IN us! The Christian holiday of Pentecost is a moveable feast, which is celebrated on the 50th day from Easter Sunday. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as described in the Acts of the Apostles. It is also known as “the birthday of the Church”. Pentecost fulfills Jesus’ promise to send the “Counselor” and “Spirit of Truth” in John 16:5-15. This event also launched the large-scale spreading of the Gospel after Jesus’ ascension. Acts 2:41 records that after Peter spoke to the crowd after receiving the Holy Spirit, some 3,000 people were baptized.
Baptism Sunday on June 20!! If you would like to take the plunge in following Jesus’ example, let us know on your connect card by Sunday, June 13th!
