Our Pastor continued with his series of messages “Following Jesus Through the Cross” this week using scripture reference Acts 2:1-13. For ten days 120 believers were gathered together in prayer. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came and filled the house. The Holy Spirit had come to Pentecost and they were filled. We celebrated all moms during the service with beautiful flowering plants. Each lady was also given a small book by author Beth Moore. The ladies of the church wore hats fashioned by Shirley Jackson.
