The Day of Pentecost: Whitsunday
Today's Readings: Acts 2:1-21 or Genesis 11:1-9; Romans 8:14-17 or Acts 2:1-21; John 14:8-17, (25-27); Psalm 104:25-35, 37
The Pentecost Story: Do you read or speak a language other than English? Can you do that in our Pentecost services? This Sunday at our 9 am and 11 am services, we ask all who can to stand at their seat and read Acts 2:5–11 in languages other than English at the same time the lesson is read in English. Hearing all the languages at one time gives a powerful sense of that first Pentecost. Download translations here.
