| Pentecost
Sunday, May 11
 On
Pentecost, Sun., May 11, we celebrate how God’s life-giving Spirit
poured out abundantly on the community
of disciples gathered in ancient Jerusalem and how that same Spirit
is provided to us today. Symbols for this day include images of
wind, fire, doves and the color red. Pentecost themes include
how God uses our diverse personhood and individual gifts to be
“the body of Christ” in the world, bringing hope and peace and
new life to all.
The Pentecost Offering will be received
that Sunday, which is used to help children at risk, youth, and
young adults in our church. The YAYA Committee will designate
a local youth service provider or ministry to receive 40% of the
funds, while the remaining 60% will be submitted to the Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A) for use on the national level. Come celebrate how
God’s Spirit still sends us forth in service and love!
