Amen.

Pentecost marks the ‘birthday’ of the Church.
Seven weeks after celebrating Jesus’ resurrection at Easter, we remember a particular gathering of his followers.
Extraordinary things happened – strong winds, bright flames and the ability to speak in languages they’d never spoken before! They were filled with the Holy Spirit, God’s presence with us.
This moment changed everything. Empowered in new ways, they shared the story of Jesus with others and thousands of people made the decision to join them.
They shared together and helped people in need as part of a loving community. What started that day became what we know today as church.
Today, Christians around the world celebrate the moment the Church began. Happy birthday!

Amen 🙏

Today, let us pray that the Holy Spirit would pour out faith across every generation and draw our Five into God’s family.
We ask that You send the Holy Spirit as a holy offering to the holy church.
As we assemble, give to all the saints the fullness of the Holy Spirit for the confirmation of true faith so that we may praise and glorify You through Your Son, Jesus Christ, through whom glory and honour to the Father and the Son with the Holy Spirit in Your holy church are Yours now and forever!
Amen 🙏

'The painting reflects the idea of personal transformation in faith, when belief becomes lived rather than just heard about.'

Pick up this week's issue of Salvationist and be inspired by a fresh vision of the Holy Spirit! 'The Upper Room' by Caitlin Potts (Leicester South Salvation Army) is featured as this week's cover artwork.

Created with acrylic paints and coloured pencils, it depicts the story of Pentecost, showing the arrival of the Holy Spirit in the form of a bird, with swirling shapes filling the space.
