| The music group with coloured clothes |
Today –
Pentecost Sunday – the anniversary of the Birth Day of the church – the day
when the Holy Spirit fell upon the first disciples with what looked like flames
of fire and all the crowd around heard what they were speaking in their own language.
In celebration the congregation was encouraged to come to church today in
brightly coloured clothes. Many people did so, so there were red, yellow and
orange shirts, sweaters and saris all around the church. Many of our young
people formed our music group and they took this very much to heart.

| Singing in Portuguese |
The theme of the
different languages was also taken up as the children sung a song in Portuguese
and when it came to the Lord’s Prayer, the different lines were said by different
members of the congregation in their own languages.
The service was
led by Angie and in her sermon, Lou took up the importance of bringing the good
news of Christ’s forgiveness to everyone, not just people like us.
