TODAY IS PENTECOST SUNDAY
Pentecost is significant in both the Old and New Testaments. “Pentecost” is actually the Greek name for a festival known in the Old Testament as the Feast of Weeks (Leviticus 23:15; Deuteronomy 16:9). The Greek word means “fifty” and refers to the fifty days that have elapsed since Easter (Acts 2:1-21).

This day is especially important as we will be acknowledging three of our young people at the Late Service today for their dedication in completing two years of formal instruction in the Christian faith. Many of us referred to these classes growing up as Catechism Classes or Confirmation Classes.  On this day, these youth will be taking part in the Rite of Affirmation of Faith, reaffirming their baptism.
