Prayer Workshops: On Saturday 14th and Saturday 21st June there is an opportunity for us to learn more about prayer and to deepen out spiritual connection with God. Vicky will offer different methods of praying and introduce us to some helpful resources. These one-hour sessions will be held in the Jubilee Room from 10.30 am and everyone is welcome to attend.

Pentecost - Today, the Day of Pentecost marks fifty days since Easter Day and brings the Easter season to an end. It is a major feast of the Church’s year when we recall how God’s Holy Spirit was given to the disciples after Jesus’ ascension, empowering them to begin the work of making disciples of all nations. Jesus had promised his followers that, although they would not see him after his Ascension, they would receive the Holy Spirit to guide and inspire them. The Acts of the Apostles describes how the crowds gathered in Jerusalem – representing many nationalities and speaking many languages – were able to hear the disciples preaching in their own language.

The colour most often associated with Pentecost is red, representing the tongues of fire which the Acts of the Apostles describes appearing above the heads of the disciples as a sign that they had received the Holy Spirit. It is the same Holy Spirit who empowers us today to be the people of God in this place and at this time. Without the Holy Spirit we can do nothing.

Breathe in me O Holy Spirit that my thoughts may all be holy; act in me O Holy Spirit

that my works, too, may be holy; draw my heart O Holy Spirit that I may love that which is holy.

Strengthen me O Holy Spirit to defend all that is holy; guard me then O Holy Spirit

that I always may be holy. St. Augustine of Hippo (AD 354-430)
