THIS WEEK AT ..................

St. Pete First UMC

Hi Kelly—

This week Pastor Bob will be speaking on the topic "Let the Winds Blow." When the Day of Pentecost came, the people of God were no longer the same. Their witness had been empowered and God placed upon them a great power to make a difference in the world. No longer were they to accept mediocrity, but instead, press on for God's greater good. This was all possible because of the mighty wind.

The text for this week is Acts 2:1-21 (NLT).

This Sunday we will celebrate Pentecost and observe Memorial Day, as we honor the men and women who sacrificed their lives while serving in the U.S. military.

Want to find out more about Pentecost? Ask The UMC: What is Pentecost?

Join us for worship this Sunday! Traditional services are at 8 & 11 am, and our contemporary service is at 9:30 am. We look forward to seeing you!
