The Rev. Deacon Dr. Bette Kauffman will lead us in Morning Prayer with communion, Sunday, May 28th at 10am in observation of Pentecost. Our tradition is to wear red on Pentecost Sunday.
Other Sunday services will be Morning Prayer also at 10am as usual.
Pentecost, also called Whitsunday, (Pentecost from Greek pentecostē, “50th day”), major festival in the Christian church, celebrated on the Sunday that falls on the 50th day of Easter. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and other disciples following the Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ (Acts of the Apostles, chapter 2), and it marks the beginning of the Christian church’s mission to the world.
