Change in Action – Pentecost Emerging (April 16 – May 28, 2023)
As we continue a year-long journey of exploration into the nature of change in our faith and life, we journey through the season of Easter to the celebration of Pentecost. Even though Jesus triumphed over the grave, his death and resurrection mark the end of his earthly ministry and the beginning of the Spirit-empowered people of God.
For this worship series, we are focused on the changes wrought by the Holy Spirit among God’s people – not just on the Day of Pentecost, but every step of our pilgrimage journey of faith in life.
