Acts 2:1-21 |On the day of Pentecost, the rush of a violent wind filled the place where thousands had gathered in Jerusalem, filling the people with the Holy Spirit. Some of the people there were Jews who’d traveled to celebrate the festival of Pentecost, others were there as a part of the city’s commerce, and still others were there obeying Jesus’ command to remain in the city until the Spirit came upon them. But for everyone present, this event was a surprise, and interrupted everything going on. So when we consider the work of the Spirit in our lives and in the church today, does the Spirit still interrupt us? And, if the Spirit does interrupt us, are we willing to be interrupted – and transformed – for the sake of our life and the life of the world? Join us for worship as we pray for the Spirit to come upon us, and as we are filled with God’s breath of life, sending us forth into God’s Kingdom.
