Wear Red for Pentecost Sunday
Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, and the worship committee is asking the congregation to wear something red. Red is the liturgical color for Pentecost which usually stands for passion and blood, like the blood of Christ. For Pentecost, red can be seen in reference to the flames of fire that came down upon the apostles, as well as the fire of “burning charity” that arose in them after that day. In Christian art, the Holy Spirit is most often represented by a dove, encircled by a blaze of fire. So this Sunday, in recognition and celebration of what is considered the birthday for the church, we are asking that everyone wear something red!
Pastor Don will be launching a new two-part sermon series on Pentecost. This week, we will explore the three things we must all be willing to do if we want the Holy Spirit in our lives.
It's also Communion Sunday, so if you join online, please have some crackers/bread and juice/water ready.
