Worship Series: "God Poured Out"
from umcdiscipleship.org
Pentecost is a high and holy celebration, but it is not a staid and quiet one. We celebrate with joy the unleashing of the Spirit to be a work in and through us. We are invited to participate in God’s continuing creation as we build a kingdom and a kin-dom of faith and heaven on earth. Pentecost and Trinity Sunday are not about a God far off and incomprehensible, but about a God poured out on God’s people. Embrace these days with passion, purpose, and a promise to be partnered with a God poured out.
This Service's Theme: "Spirit in Partnership"
