This Sunday is Pentecost!
Happy Birthday Church! No, I’m not
referring to the day our local church (Apostles) was planted, but the
celebration of the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was given to the
disciples of Jesus. On that day the church was born and the world has never been
the same since. A community of faith, joy, love, power, generosity, reverence,
and compassion was unleashed and it has been growing ever since. How can we
experience more and more of these same qualities in our local expression of
Jesus’ worldwide church? Do you experience these things in abundance or are you
missing something of the passion and depth so characteristic of the early
church? Come this Pentecost Sunday with expectant hearts as we
celebrate…and contemplate the birth of Jesus’ church.
Happy birthday to all!
Patrick
