On 24th May, we celebrate Pentecost, the birth of the church when the Holy Spirit descended and Simon Peter shared the first sermon after Jesus’ Ascension. It’s become a lovely tradition at St Andrew’s for people to wear their brightest clothing to celebrate this special occasion.
Acts 2:1 – 4 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
