JOIN US FOR PENTECOST
What is Pentecost? Pentecost (also called Whitsunday) is a Christian holiday celebrated 50 days after Easter (including Easter Sunday) that commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus in Jerusalem. Often regarded as the "birthday of the Church" it marks the beginning of the disciples' public ministry and spreading of the gospel.
We will celebrate with ONE service on March 24th at 10:30, followed by a picnic in Benedict Hall.
The church will provide fried chicken and drinks. Everyone is asked to bring a generous side dish to share. Sign up HERE to let us know what you are bringing.
Casual dress is appropriate for the day. Remember to wear something red.

CLAY KITCHEN AT ORANGE PARK SENIOR CENTER
Our next opportunity to serve will be Saturday, May 23. Interested in helping? Contact John Phillips at jphillips653@aol.com
