May 19th 2024 – “New beginnings”

Dear friends,

THIS SUNDAY the Rev. Christopher Clarke will be leading us in worship.

PLEASE NOTE there is ongoing construction on Green Street keeping Green from Oak to Mercille closed until the end of summer, Birch is now a two-way street accessible from Desaulniers. 

ON PENTECOST SUNDAY, we commemorate the pivotal moment when the apostles and believers were gathered together and received the arrival of the Holy Spirit, symbolized by a mighty rushing wind and tongues of fire.  Just as God manifested his presence on Mount Sinai with thunder, wind, and fire, his glory filled the room where the apostles were, profoundly impacting Jerusalem.  This event marked the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, empowering believers to spread the gospel with boldness and transforming their lives and the world forever.  This Sunday, we look forward to the Rev. Christopher Clarke’s sermon, “New beginnings”.
