THE SEASON OF PENTECOST

 

Fifty days after Easter Sunday and ten days after Jesus left the disciples, the Holy Spirit came.  The Holy Spirit is the special gift Jesus promised.  The Holy Spirit gave the disciples the courage to go out into the world and tell everyone the good news of Jesus’ resurrection.  Red is the color of Pentecost.  Red reminds us of the flames that appeared when the Holy Spirit first came to the disciples in the upper room.

 

The Sundays between Pentecost and Advent are called the Sundays after Pentecost, or ordinary days.  This is a special time to learn about the work of the church.  At Gibbsville we use the color green during the summer to remind us that this is a time to grow.

 

We extend a warm welcome to any who would like to worship with us.
