  • Reminder for Pentecost, June 8, 2025

    Acts 2:   Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.  And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

    1 Corinthians 12:To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.

    John 14:  The Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you."
