Day of Pentecost
All-Parish Worship and Picnic

We look forward to seeing you at our Day of Pentecost All-Parish Service and Picnic. We encourage everyone to wear red to celebrate Pentecost and allow extra time for parking and walking to the site. We'll gather for an all-parish photo immediately at the end of the service, and we'll return to the tables for our picnic.

Following the service, we'll gather just a few steps away for an all-parish photo. Wear casual picnic attire and red to symbolize the Holy Spirit and the "tongues of fire" that descended upon the Apostles.
