Theme - Pentecost marks the fiftieth and concluding day of the Easter season celebration.  Pentecost is the celebration of the pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon the church to carry forth the ministry of Jesus.  Each disciple has been given at least one spiritual gift to use to bring transformation to the world.  On this day, we celebrate our many gifts.  We are encouraged to wear something red to symbolize the fire of the Holy Spirit.
