Pentecost is Coming . . .

This Sunday, June 12, is the festival of Pentecost, one of the highest days of the church year.  You can read the story of Pentecost in Acts 2. 

A prayer as we approach Pentecost:

Perplexing, Pentecostal God,

you infuse us with your Spirit,

urging us to vision and dream.
May the gift of your presence
find voice in our lives,
that our babbling may be transformed into discernment

and the flickering of many tongues

light an unquenchable fire of compassion and justice. Amen.

(The prayer is taken from here.)
