Pentecost Sunday 2023
May 28, 2023
Sunday is the Day of Pentecost, the day we remember and celebrate the ongoing presence of Christ with the Church through the gift of the Holy Spirit. A question Pentecost asks is, what might it mean for us to be a Spirit-filled Church? Is it simply about a feeling or emotion, or maybe something more? Luke seems to suggest that a Spirit-filled Church is a place of encounter with God, a place where people experience love, and welcome, and hope, and life in Christ. A Spirit-filled church, is both a gathered community and a people sent out and empowered to be the body of Christ in the community in ways that reflect God’s desire that all things be made new.
