Church Season

The Scriptures say that there is a season for everything under heaven.
As the earth revolves around the sun we experience different seasons of the year.
In the course of a year the church remembers and celebrates the life of Jesus.
Different seasons are associated with major events and their significance for us.

The Spirit of God is the creative, guiding and empowering force that is given to the church for its faithful work of sharing God's love.

Pentecost means fifty translated in to English. 50 days after the Jewish Passover celebration the festival of Weeks brought the people of God from all over the world to Jerusalem . At his departure ten days earlier Jesus had told his followers to wait there for the coming of the Holy Spirit. They experienced this powerful presence of God through sound of wind, sight of flames and the ability to share the good news with everyone in different languages.

We celebrate this day as the beginning of the church. The first disciples continued the ministry and mission of Jesus to announce God’s reign and salvation. We continue to share the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection with the help of the Holy Spirit. Gathered with other believers we experience the presence of God’s Spirit in worship, learning, fellowship and ministry and grow to spiritual maturity in Christ.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.

Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your holy spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.”

(Psalm 51:10-12)
