Worship Series: "All Access"
from umcdiscipleship.org
The doors are open. That’s what Pentecost has done. In this moment, in this event, we are empowered to realize the promise that was offered at Easter. We all know that the curtain in the temple was torn in two, and God’s heart was opened on Good Friday. We know that the gift was sealed on Resurrection morning. But closed and locked doors were still keeping the followers from living into the new reality. Fear reigned in too many hearts until the wind and the fire of Pentecost. Now, there is access and accessibility. Now, there is a way to approach. Now, there is openness that keeps no one away. In this short series, we embrace openness and claim the gift given to us. Let us celebrate these high and holy days by living into the all-access pass we’ve been given.
This is the Second service of a 2 service Worship Series from the Discipleship Ministries.

Liturgical Resources
The celebration continues. Perhaps it is hard to see much to celebrate in what is essentially a doctrinal observance. Yet, the writer of Psalm 8 finds much to enjoy in the contemplation of who God is.
