Message: Dangerous Energy
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday and Friendship Church’s Unity Service.
This Sunday we will worship with our Unity Service at 10:00 a.m. and begin our summer schedule of one service: worship at 10:00 a.m. Sunday School will run concurrently through out the summer.
Among Christians, Pentecost commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Twelve apostles and other followers of Jesus as described in the Acts of the Apostles 2:1-31. For this reason, Pentecost is sometimes described as the “Birthday of the Church.”
Prayer: Holy God, in joyous expectation, we celebrate the birthday of your church. Pour out your Spirit on all flesh, that our sons and daughters may prophesy, the young see visions and the old dream dreams. Re-create us as daring people, open to the new possibilities you offer. Calm our fears, lest they block us from receiving your power. Refashion our doubts that they may lead to bold inquiry rather than cautious retreat. Come, Holy Spirit, to reform your church. Amen. (from Fresh Winds of the Spirit)
Scripture: Acts 2:1-21 The Scripture this Sunday will be read in the many languages of our congregation.
