Blessing and grace, people of the Holy Spirit —
This weekend we continue OUTDOOR WORSHIP on Sunday, October 23rd (8:30am). This is the twentieth Sunday of the Pentecost Season and no finer time to really proclaim and talk about ALL THINGS – HOLY SPIRIT also called Holy Ghost.
Who is He? Where is He? What gift does He give us? Do I need to speak in a foreign (unlearned) tongue to assure others I have received Him? Why do people shout and dance in church? How come I (myself) have never shouted or danced? Why don’t we talk about the Holy Spirit more or call on His name? We will attempt to tackle all these burning questions in this week’s worship experience.
The service will be shared Livestream via Facebook (Meta) and accessible on the church website afterward. The Voices of Inspiration will share in music ministry and the full program is attached. Join us on the church lawn Sunday morning, as the weather promises to be a sunny 67 degrees; be sure to bring a sweater or light jacket and a lawn chair. The program for the service is attached (pdf).
