Pentecost is the day that we remember with joy the gift of the Holy Spirit upon the first disciples of Jesus following his resurrection. In Acts 2, we read:
"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."
Empowered by the Holy Spirit, these first disciples shared the good news of Jesus with those in Jerusalem and into the far reaches of their known world. On Pentecost Sunday, we will give thanks to the same Holy Spirit who dwells within each of us, leading us to know and follow Jesus. Please wear red to worship on Sunday in celebration of the coming Holy Spirit
