Sunday Worship: Pentecost (WhitSunday)

This Sunday is Pentecost, or as the old prayerbook calls it, WhitSunday. WhitSunday as in “white Sunday” because Pentecost is one of the main days for baptisms and those being baptized wear white. It is Pentecost because on this ancient Israelite feast day is when God sent the Holy Spirit to the Apostles and all those gathered in the upper room and Peter preached the first great sermon of the Church.

In our Romans Sermon Series, Pastor Shane will be preaching Romans 16:1-2.

The Collect for Pentecost Sunday.
GOD, who as at this time didst teach the hearts of thy faithful people, by the sending to them the light of thy Holy Spirit; Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgement in all things, and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort; through the merits of Christ Jesus our Saviour, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
