Wear Red for Pentecost Sunday
Sunday, May 23, 10:15 AM
Pentecost Sunday is the recognition and celebration of the outpouring of love as the Holy Spiit descended upon the early believers. The color red symbolizes the tongues of flame in which the Holy Spirit descended on the early church's first Pentecost and the blood of the first martyrs who held firm to the true faith even at the cost of their lives. Everyone is encourage to wear the color red in some way--in the form of jewelry, ribbons, scarves and clothing to church on Pentecost Sunday, May 23.
