PRAYERFOR ILLUMINATION Spirit of the Living God LIVING GOD

SCRIPTURE READING Ruth Adams, Lector

Acts 2: 1-8; 14-17

RESPONSE Spirit of the Living God LIVING GOD

SERMON Miracle-Gro Bruce Robbins

WITNESS Nancy Sjoquist

When Pentecost Day arrived, they

were all together in one place. Suddenly

a sound from heaven like the howling

of a fierce wind filled the entire house

where they were sitting. They saw what

seemed to be individual flames of fire

alighting on each one of them. They

were all filled with the Holy Spirit and

began to speak in other languages as the

Spirit enabled them to speak.

There were pious Jews from every

nation under heaven living in Jerusalem.

When they heard this sound, a crowd

gathered. They were mystified because

everyone heard them speaking in their

native languages. They were surprised

and amazed, saying, Look, arent all

the people who are speaking Galileans,

every one of them? How then can each

of us hear them speaking in our native

language?

Peter stood with the other eleven

apostles. He raised his voice and

declared, Judeans and everyone living

in Jerusalem! Know this! Listen carefully

to my words! These people arentdrunk, as you suspect; after all, its only

nine oclock in the morning! Rather, this

is what was spoken through the prophet

Joel:

In the last days, God says, I will

pour out my Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will

prophesy. Your young will see

visions. Your elders will dream

dreams.

From the C.E.B. Translation

The Ascension signaled

the completion of Godssaving work in JesusChrist. The Day of

Pentecost celebrates themiraculous story of a

beloved communityemerging from a frightened

band of followers. Theyhid behind closed doors;now they proclaim paradise

to the world! How doesthis touch your spirit?

Work has begun to cover the out-side stairwell in the alley/passageway

on the East side of our building. TheCity of Minneapolis informed us it

needs to comply with RegulatoryServices and disconnect an outside

stairwell drain that leads into thecities sewer lines. (This disconnectprogram did not offer the church any

good options. The stairs enclosure

was determined to be best.)Innovative Building Concepts will

be constructing an enclosure that is

practical and the Board of Trustees

insisted on a high quality solutionthat will offer additional benefits aswell as solving the problem of any

MCKENZIE

Janet McKenzie has committed her

life and art to celebrating womens

lives and gifts. Her art compassionately

reflects that we are created equally

and beautifully in Gods likeness Ms.

McKenzies painting Jesus of the

People was selected winner of the

confronts stereotypical thinking by

celebrating Jesus as African American.

The feminine aspect is served by the

fact that the model for this painting

was a woman. Ms. McKenzie will

be a guest at Sacred Journey at 9:00

AM and then share works from her

new book, Holiness and the Feminine

Spirit at 11:00 AM.
