Yesterday we celebrated Pentecost day with lots of red!
People wore red clothes, we had red balloons in the entry to the church, a red altar cloth adorned the altar, and the children made a banner of red streamers. There was red everywhere.
I especially enjoyed the banner the children made. Conner, our banner-bearer, was very proud to carry the new banner the children had made the previous week. He carried it in happily and planted it in the altar rail for everyone to see.
My sermon focused on the energy the Holy Spirit brings to us, as symbolized by the flames that appeared on the disciples' heads on the Day of Pentecost. The color red reminds us of the flames of Pentecost and the energy of the Holy Spirit.
It was a good day and we had a good spirit present among us. The Holy Spirit!
