Pentecost

BySt Mary Anne Admin

pentecostSunday, May 20th is Pentecost. What is Pentecost? On the 49th day following Easter, Christians celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit onto the disciples. This occurred after Jesus’ Ascension to heaven.

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Acts 2:1-4

 

Join us to celebrate Pentecost at 8:00AM or 10:00AM , Sunday, May 20th.
