Pentecost
Last Sunday (9th June 2019) was Pentecost. Pentecost has its roots in Jewish religious tradition. The Jewish Pentecost fell on the 50th day after Passover, and it celebrated the giving of the law to Moses on Mount Sinai. At Pentecost, Jesus' disciples experience being filled dramatically with God's Holy Spirit. We learn from Christ’s early disciples that God’s deeds of power brought wellbeing to the wider community and the praise of all people. The Holy Spirit filled, encouraged and equipped ordinary people to transform their world through generosity and love as they practiced their faith through community living. This all started in one house and a movement happened because the Holy Spirit touched and equipped them. God calls us as ordinary people to make a difference. 'When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place' Acts 2:1 Helen and I attended church at Trafalgar Square for the Thy Kingdom Come celebration. Fantastic worship led by
