Remember to wear red, yellow, or orange for Pentecost Sunday. Join us for 9 am Worship as Rev. Dr. Craig Alwin shares the sermon entitled, “The Peace of Pentecost.” Below are questions to consider for this Sunday’s sermon.

• Why is Pentecost sometimes referred to as the “birthday of the Christian church” and other times as the “public manifestation of the Christian church?” What are the differences?
• What is the importance of and connection between the words Father, Companion, and Orphans?
• How is the peace given by Jesus an invitation to live together in Christian community?
• What implications does the Pentecost story have for relationships between people who believe differently?
• What implications does the Pentecost story have for how we structure our congregation?
