“That They May All Be One”
Wear RED on Pentecost!
Next week, May 24th, we celebrate Pentecost. This day marks the descent of the Holy Spirit on the early followers of Christ, and by extension, on us. In keeping with the imagery of the day (“tongues of flame”), we wear RED. If you are able, please come in your brightest, boldest red to celebrate the Spirit we share.
