Pentecost!


Hello Again!
This week the Church celebrates the feast of Pentecost, which is the giving of the Holy Spirit to mankind. Originally a feast celebrated for the giving of the Law to Moses on Mt Sinai, it is now, as a Christian celebration, to remember the day the Holy Spirit decended, in an unmistakable way, onto those frightened and cowering apostles, transforming them into fearless proclaimers of the Truth.

This week, Lay Reader Steve brings us the words of Martin Luther as he reads the sermon from Acts 2: 1-21.
