Before Service Prayer: Almighty God, it was during Pentecost that You sent the Holy Spirit to open up the hearts and minds of the apostles so that they might be strengthened in faith and that they might grow in confidence to take Your saving message throughout the world. We pray that the Holy Spirit might continue to come into our hearts and minds today through word and sacrament, to strengthen our faith and to enable us to share Your saving message with those who do not yet know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
Today Theme: HE LIVES TO POUR OUT HIS SPIRIT: Fifty days after the Passover, God's Old Testament people celebrated Pentecost (Greek for "fifty"). Pentecost commemorated the gathering of the harvest and was also used to remember the giving of the Law on Mt. Sinai, the start of the Church of Israel. Christ chose Pentecost to be the birthday of His New Testament Church too. By pouring out His Holy Spirit, Christ empowered the Church to gather in the great harvest of souls won by the Son.
Pentecost is the third great festival of the Church, along with the Nativity and the Resurrection. The early church fathers mention the Festival of Pentecost often enough to lead many to believe it was celebrated annually already at the time of the apostles. Pentecost closes the fifty-day period after Easter and ends the festival half of the church year. The Church dresses in red this day to remind us of the tongues of fire that marked the Spirit's gift, as well as the blood of the martyrs which was the seed of the Church.
