Pentecost is the birthday of the Church as the body of Christ
May 31, 2020
For the Spirit already has set us on fire with the wonder that He sent His Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that it might be saved through Him. This same Spirit kindles our lives with healing powers that make us whole and at one with all of creation.

Pentecost is the Christian Church’s birthday. It is the third great Feast of the Church. The Holy Spirit at Pentecost is poured out on all flesh. This Spirit is the breath of charity, the tongue of truth. It is the fire of compassion that heals human life. It is the language of Love.
During the 25 weeks that mark the Sundays in the liturgical year after the Day of Pentecost, we will seek to understand ourselves as a people of God who are born of compassion who love all creation with a limitless hospitality and with boundless mercy. We seek to hear and to follow God’s higher callings to love Him whole-heartedly, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
We hope to grow spiritually as a Pentecostal people, a holy community whose holiness is measured only by its compassionate hospitality for all God's children and all of God's creation.

At Christmas we hear that "God is with us. Immanuel." At Easter we hear that Christ is risen...God with us still. At Pentecost we hear that the Holy Spirit, God is within us forever.
Joel 2:28-32
The Lord said to his people:
I will pour out my spirit on all flesh;
….Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' "
