Pentecost Sunday - One 10am Worship Service for All
|
|
This is Pentecost Sunday and we will have
one 10:00am worship service
in the Sanctuary – a chance for us all to be together to celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the people of God. Come early and
join us for bagels, coffee, doughnuts and fruit in the courtyard at 9:00am.
Come celebrate this season of wind and fire, of prophetic speech and deep listening. This is the birth of the church, the body of Christ upon the earth. This is people being given words of power that bring life and hope where there had been only oppression and despair. This is people opening their ears and their hearts to new ways of being and living. This is when words touch us so deeply, and with such transformative force, that we give lavishly and share joyously. This is the fullness of Christ’s teaching: forming beloved communities as we bear God’s love and peace and power into the world. We come alive for the transformation of the world.
Yours on this glorious journey,
P.S.
Remember that we are taking the Pentecost offering that supports youth and at-risk children.

Interested in Membership at Covenant?
We want becoming a member at Covenant to be easy. We want your membership to be fulfilling and important in your life. To get started or find out more, contact
Rev. Katie Kinnison to set up a time to talk with her. The general process: on the first Sunday of the month, a few Elders (members of Session who make congregational decisions) meet with new members to get to know them a little bit and answer questions. On the second Sunday of the month, new members are officially received by the congregation.
