On Pentecost Sunday, we celebrated the work of the Spirit through the diverse voices and languages of our community. The service was complete with offerings from our choir, ribbon dancing from our youth, and the story of Pentecost told in eight different languages! Afterwards, we gathered downstairs in our fellowship hall for what a certain pastor has described as "The Best Lutheran Potluck Ever", our Pentecost Potluck. The table was full of food lovingly prepared by our congregation, with dishes selected intentionally to represent our cultural and ethnic backgrounds. It was a beautiful Sunday morning spent sharing and celebrating the diversity within our congregation, and the gifts that it brings.
