REV. JULIA WELCOMES YOU
"Pentecost"

June 8, 2025 Pentecost

Pentecost, also known as Whitsunday, is the day that the Holy Spirit was sent down from heaven upon the disciples and those with them. The Holy Spirit came with a mighty rush of wind, tongues of fire and people speaking in various languages. It must have been quite the event.

Sometimes you may hear that Pentecost is the birthday of the Church. Why might that be? The notion likely came from the amazing baptism of approximately 3000 people after the descent of the Spirit.

The notion of the Holy Spirit coming down as a wind has a long tradition in the Bible. Ruah is a Hebrew word that means wind, breath, or spirit. It can refer to the natural force of life, the creative power of God, or the personal being of the Holy Spirit. Ruah was the wind over the waters in creation. Think of the Holy Spirit being always around us in the gentle breezes and mighty winds!

You are always welcome to join us for worship!
