This Sunday we celebrate the ancient festival known as Pentecost. Pentecost, or "fiftieth day" commemorates the arrival of the Holy Spirit among the early church. You remember the story from Acts, where the disciples poor out of the upper room and begin preaching to all passer byes in languages that all the hearers could understand.
It is understood today as the beginning of the church, and the beginning of the work of the Holy Spirit among us.
So, here at PPC, we are commemorating this important beginning by . . . .end our Sunday school for the summer. The church is born today, see you next fall!
Actually, summer breaks coinciding with Pentecost is on an idiosyncrasy of the calendar this year, and so I'm overstating the case a bit.
Here on the blog, we will continue with our reflections and updates, but we will probably address issues that come up through the week instead of following the rigid lectionary schedule. Be sure to check back often, and participate when you feel led.
We will go back to our regular weekly schedule come Labor Day.
