Pentecost Sunday is the Day we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit. Scripture says that when the day of Pentecost came, Jesus’ disciples 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. We rejoice in knowing that the Spirit that fell on those disciples is falling on us, filling us up, and enabling us to be Spirit empowered people. Come let us worship the Holy Spirit.  



Our scripture this week comes from John 14:8-17
