Our celebration of Pentecost
On Sunday 31st May at 10.30 am we celebrated the Feast of Pentecost like we have never celebrated it before.
About 120 members of the congregation got together on Zoom. The screen was a sea of red outfits. Ayla led the service, Jeremy played his guitar while we all sang ‘Shine Jesus Shine’. John Willmer who celebrated his 90th birthday the day before did a moving New Testament reading. Junior Church, in wonderful homemade flame headbands, creative ‘pentecostumes’ and colourful streamers, told the story of Pentecost, led by Maureen. That was just the beginning! We had dancing, waving and bubbles, a lovely sermon and more music. We sang the glorious hymn ‘Come down O Love Divine’, the Junior Choir sang a beautiful ‘Alleluia’ chorus and we saw the choir on our screens singing a heavenly Thomas Tallis anthem. Technology can be a wonderful thing!
It truly was a joyeous celebration of the coming of the Holy Spirit
