The fiftieth day after Easter marks the day that the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles. Without the gift of the Spirit, Christ’s church dries up and withers away, and we are left with only our broken selves. With the gift of the Spirit, all things are possible. A spirit-filled community of faith opens its eyes to the needs of others in their church, beyond the doors, and into the community and world.
If you wish, wear red this Sunday to share the spirit of celebration.
