The Easter season concludes on Sunday, June 8 with the Feast of the Pentecost. The name comes from the Greek pentekoste, “fiftieth” day of the celebration of the resurrection of Christ. It refers to the festival on the fiftieth day after the Passover, also known as the “Feast of Weeks” and the “Feast of 50 days” in rabbinic tradition. We celebrate the Holy Spirit in the church and in the world. The primary color of red on this day symbolizes the fire and power of that Spirit. Wear some red on Sunday, June 8! And, while the wind of the Spirit blows where She will, we give thanks at the conclusion of our transition ministry as we move into transformation ministry in this new era at FELC. Come give thanks in the joy of the Spirit!
Come, Holy Spirit, and kindle in us the fire of your love. Alleluia!
