Sunday, May 31 - Feast of Pentecost - One church service

We will not have services at the church that morning or evening this Sunday, May 31. Instead we will be celebrating the Feast of Pentecost at Laurel Street Park in Belhaven.

We will celebrate this important feast day by having a special Holy Eucharist in the park at 5:00pm with a potluck service following the service. We are also pleased to be joined in our celebration by the Rev. Authur Toro, Vicar of the Anglican Church of Christ the Savior, and by members of his congregation.

Bring lawn chairs or a picnic blanket, and if you are able, a dish to contribute to the meal. You are invited to wear red as part of the celebration. In Acts, the coming of the Holy Spirit is said to be like a mighty rushing wind. So feel free to bring "wind toys": kites, airplanes, bubble stuff, and other fun things. We will have helium balloons on hand as well.

One of our Pentecost traditions is the reading of the lesson from Acts in several languages. If you can read aloud in a language other than English and are willing to do so, please let me know. We can obtain a translation in almost any language you can imagine. Someone has already volunteered to read in German. What about you?

In the event of bad weather, we will move the whole celebration to the church.

See you Sunday!
