On Pentecost, we celebrate that we have been given an Advocate – the Holy Spirit – to accompany us. Poured out in wind and fire, water, wine, and bread, the Holy Spirit abides in and among us. We give thanks that God speaks to each of us, no matter our origins, language, or life path. This Sunday, we feel the power of the Spirit at work in our congregation through baptism, confirmation, and sending for service and learning this Summer! When we come to worship we “conspire” together. As we sing and pray, eat and breathe together, we are filled with the Spirit of truth; then we go out from worship to share this breath of fresh air in the world!
