Reflection for Family Ministry e-news

Lots of fun stuff is happening this Sunday!

We are get to have ice cream sundaes in the morning, wear red, and celebrate the day of Pentecost. The sundaes are an All Saints’ tradition, but wearing red to celebrate the day of Pentecost is a much larger tradition. Pentecost is all about the Holy Spirit, and is also known as the birthday of the church. We wear red on the day of Pentecost because red is the color that represents the Holy Spirit. Check out the video below for a fun and lively explanation of Pentecost and why we celebrate it. This video is made by a Roman Catholic organization, but it everything it shares is true for us as well, so the one time it refers to Catholics just know it could say Episcopalians too.


Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday!

Peace,
Lauren+

P.S.
We are celebrating all those who have worked with your children in Sunday School, Children’s Chapel, Youth Group, and Confirmation this Sunday at the 9am service and at Sundaes on Sunday. I hope you all will be able to be there to share your thanks with them!
