Pentecost This Sunday we complete our 50 Days of Easter, when God sends his Holy Spirit to empower his disciples – to empower us – to fulfil the mission which the risen Christ has entrusted to it, to us. Often described as “The Birthday of the Church”, we celebrate the events of Pentecost, and pray that by the power of the Holy Spirit we may bear the fruits of the Spirit in our lives and community: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Worship is led by Peter and Liz
