Today is Pentecost Sunday! The word “Pentecost” means "fiftieth day"—that is, the fiftieth day after Easter. It is the day Jesus, having ascended and seated at the right hand of the Father, remained faithful to his promise of sending the Holy Spirit to give birth to the church, his body on earth. From that astounding day in Jerusalem until today, the Spirit anoints the people of God to “proclaim good news to the poor . . . liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed” (Luke 4:18)
Through the power of the Spirit we are 'Sent On Mission.' Today we want to spend a bit of time sharing how we are seeking to fulfill that calling as a church.
