Pentecost Worship

Today is the Day of Pentecost, when Christians celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the church. In fact, we refer to this day as the birthday of the church. 

In his Pentecost sermon, the Apostle Peter quoted the second chapter of the Prophet Joel, and that was the scripture passage read in our worship service this morning. The sermon included a reading of the story of Pentecost from the Book of Acts. Hymns included Sweet, Sweet Spirit (sung twice—once peacefully, and once with a bit more jazz), Spirit of the Living God, and Spirit of Gentleness.

Here's the video of today's service (below which you'll find the order of worship):
