Pentecost - Is the birthday of the Church!
Pentecost Sunday recalls the time when the Holy Spirit came down on the Church, it marks the end of the season of Easter. The Pentecost story tells us what happened to the whole community of Jesus’ followers who were gathered in Jerusalem after Jesus’ death and resurrection. The disciples were given gifts from the Holy Spirit in the form of tongues of fire to help them to go out to the wider world and to spread the Good News and be people of peace. Pentecost completes what Jesus came to do.
Pentecost also continues to remind us that, both in our personal lives and society, God does not do everything at once, but works in stages. When we do things in stages we know that saying please, waiting and saying thank you are essential parts of our relationship with God and with one another.
