Several testimonials mentioned the important role of welcoming visitors and new members into our church. The testimonials also brought to our attention what each of us can personally do to further the work of the Holy Spirit. The heartfelt testimonials described personal impacts that the presence of the Holy Spirit has had, and how it has guided people on their personal spiritual journeys. This can be seen to illustrate how the Holy Spirit has worked since the time of the disciples and the first Pentecost, to spread the word of God to all nations in the world. The 23rd psalm was recited in 7 different languages by members of our community. A psalm which we know gives us great comfort in God’s love. God’s Word began with the reciting of the 23rd psalm. And finally, what better way to cap the day of celebration, than with a picnic that was held outside on a beautiful warm June day. Personal testimonies provided evidence of the ability of the power of the Holy Spirit to guide us in our spiritual journeys, and in our outreach to others. The service was enriched with the participation of the many national cultures that can be found in our congregation. It is the recognition of a truly great gift that God is living with us. This Sunday celebrated the Day of Pentecost.
