From the Rector



Sunday is The Feast of Pentecost! Come to church wearing red. Come to church bearing gifts of the Spirit! Prepare yourself with The Rev. Malcolm Guite's sonnet. You can hear him read the poem here.


Pentecost 

Today we feel the wind beneath our wings

Today the hidden fountain flows and plays

Today the church draws breath at last and sings

As every flame becomes a Tongue of praise.

This is the feast of fire, air, and water

Poured out and breathed and kindled into earth.

The earth herself awakens to her maker

And is translated out of death to birth.

The right words come today in their right order

And every word spells freedom and release

Today the gospel crosses every border

All tongues are loosened by the Prince of Peace

Today the lost are found in His translation.

Whose mother tongue is Love in every nation.


Blessings,

Pam+

PostScript: You can wear any color or combination of red, orange, or yellow, or you can wear any other color you want to! Just come, bearing your generous spirits and yearning hearts. The Spirit of God promises to meet you there.
