| | Pentecost Service and Potluck Brunch
May 19, Sunday, 10:00 a.m. | | | | | | On this day, we hold a single worship service at 10 a.m. Known variously
as Pentecost or Whitsunday, this celebration commemorates the Holy Spirit descending upon the Virgin Mary and the disciples
after Jesus’ Ascension. For more information on this high holy day, including readings and prayers, see our Pentecost page. (If you can read a foreign language, your help is requested
for our special celebration; contact the church office.) Following the
service, we will share a picnic on the church grounds (or the parish hall, in case of inclement weather). The main dish and
beverages will be provided. You can help by bringing a dish to share, according to your last name: A-F: dessert G-O: vegetable or side dish P-Z: salad We have only a few picnic tables, so you may wish to bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on. Please
wear red to symbolize the flame of the Holy Spirit! If you can help with set-up or clean-up, contact the church office. See
you there! | back to top | | | |
