This Week Pentecost is a day of promises fulfilled. The promised Spirit of God is poured out. The baptized have become “children of God” and “joint heirs with Christ.” By the power of the Spirit we have seen the face of the Father in his only begotten Son and been saved by him. Bless the Lord, O my soul. There will be some special roles for children during Pentecost worship.  Click here to see Betty demonstrate how to use the Holy Spirit ribbons! Readings: Acts 2:1-21, Psalm 104:24-34, 35b, Romans 8:14-17, John 14:8-17 [25-27]  White Sox Raffle   We are raffling off 2 seats for the Sox -vs- Royals game on Friday, May 20, 7:10 start time.
