"Seeing Visions & Dreaming Dreams"
PENTECOST NOW!
PENTECOST 2021
"And there appeared to them tongues as of fire,
distributed and resting on each one of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit."
(Acts 2:3-4)
Pentecost is the climax of the faith year and yet somehow it can feel under-celebrated. What could be more important than the gift and the call to bring the Good News to the whole world? The three videos below offer short, 1-2 minute summaries of what each presenter will cover in their longer presentations further down on the page:
