On Pentecost, the fiftieth day of Easter, we celebrate the Spirit, through whom and in whom the people of God are created and re-created. Pentecost is sometimes called the Church’s birthday, but might more appropriately be called its baptism day, since the gift of the Spirit is the fullness of baptism. So it is most appropriate that at our 10:45 a.m. service our ninth graders will affirm their baptisms and be CONFIRMED!! The Holy Spirit will be very busy indeed!
