Catching Fire-Pentecost

Rev. Carrie Jones

Catching Fire

June 9, 2019 • Rev. Carrie Jones

Hallmark may not agree, but this Sunday, June 9, is a VERY important celebration in the life of the Church! It’s Pentecost, which we celebrate as the Birthday of the Church, when the Holy Spirit fell upon the first disciples and empowered them to continue – and even surpass – the ministry of Jesus. Even though it is often overlooked, Pentecost is my favorite celebration of the Christian year. It’s the day we acknowledge that our faith isn’t just about what we believe in our minds and what we feel in our hearts. It’s also about what the Holy Spirit leads and empowers us to say with our voices, do with our hands, and go with our feet. So get ready… This Sunday, we’re getting ready to shake some things up, to blaze some trails, and to change the world! Rev. Carrie Jones Director of Children's Ministry
