This week is Pentecost Sunday.
In Acts 2 we find the story of the first Pentecost. It is the story of a group of dispirited and scared Jesus followers. Touched by the Spirit they find them-selves disturbed. Such a disturbance becomes a profound reorientation, as they find themselves outdoors, in God’s mission outside the church walls.
We celebrate both these dimensions over the next weeks.
Our worship space has been disturbed – both in the Pentecost art installation and in the new screens making a new front. It is part of a month long experiment. In the disturbance of these physical changes, you are invited, like the first followers of Jesus, to let God profoundly reorientate you.
We are providing 3 practical ways to reorientate ourselves:
1. Join us at 4 pm this Sunday either for a seminar on Mission trends in the 21st Century OR to Prayer Walk our community.
2. Join us at 7 pm this Sunday for a prayer concert, an evening of song and prayer for God’s mission.
3. Participate in self-denial. Take home a globe as a practical way of considering your place in God’s mission outside the church walls. This will then become the focus of our 7pm evening services, Grow through Colliding Worlds, on May 18 and 25.
Yours in the work of the Pentecost Spirit.
