Discovering the Holy Spirit
Do you remember the story of Pentecost? The Holy Spirit arrived with fire and people speaking in so many different languages that some onlookers thought they were drunk! It is an engaging story that shows us how we can experience the Holy Spirit today. Please join us this Sunday as we explore the story of Pentecost as told through Acts 2:1-21.
*PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR SUMMER SCHEDULE OF ONE SERVICE AT 10:00 A.M. BEGINS SUNDAY, MAY 31ST

| The Racial Justice Ministry Invites You to A Conversation with The Palestine Justice Network of the PCUSA this Sunday, May 31st @11:15am in the Knox Commons. PJN Steering Committee members Dr. Bob Ross and Yasmina Haddad are excited to join you to share about the work that the Palestine Justice Network of the PC(USA) has been doing over the past 20 years to encourage our denomination to be a prophetic voice in the struggle for a just peace for all who live in the Holy Land. Yasmina will be speaking about her family's ties to Palestine, as well as the wide variety of offerings the PJN has for our denominational partners, including teaching resources, events, and ways to support our siblings in Palestine. Bob will then discuss the long history of overtures that our denomination has passed in support of a just peace, and he will present important overtures that will be voted on in Milwaukee as part of our 227th General Assembly. We will then wrap up our time with a Q&A session, so please come with any questions you might have about the PJN and our work! *Lite bites will be provided! | |
