The Church Has Left the Building
Today is Pentecost Sunday, a celebration of the descent of the Holy Spirit as chronicled in Acts 2. The story is somewhat mysterious in the telling because the disciples were gathered in a house, then as the Holy Spirit descended, magically there are no more walls. Here, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the death of George Floyd and its aftermath, we realize that the Holy Spirit can knock down walls we haven’t even realized were there. (NOTE: We usually post the 11 o’clock service, but with the COVID-19 threat we are having only the 8:45 service today, and that is the service we are posting. NOTE: Although the video begins with the Children’s Moment, once it starts you can scroll back to the beginning of the service if you want. The video of the entire service is available to watch.)
