Pentecost Feast 2024
May 10, 2024
Please join us for a new annual tradition, the Pentecost Feast!
Sunday, May 19th
Beginning at 4:00 pMMeeting at the Smith home in Cerritos
While the Lord's Day is our only "holy day" of worship and communion, at Living Hope we also see the value of annual commemoration of the redemptive work of Christ. Therefore, we've made it our practice to observe the "evangelical feast days" of the Protestant Church, the next of which is Pentecost!
What is Pentecost
The Christian day of Pentecost is the final movement in the Christ's ministry during his first advent; it is the day that God poured out His Spirit on "all flesh" and ushered in an age of expansion for the people of God; when Christ's church would become a true international body made up of people from every tribe, tongue, and nation. On this day the Spirit was given as a gift from God to unite all believers and to indwell, secure, empower and in turn grant gifts to the peoples of the church. It was a sign that the last days had indeed begun and that God's covenant promise to dwell in the midst of His people had arrived.
In commemoration of this event, we will hold a feast that celebrates all these elements: the union we have with God and each other by the Spirit, and the gifts he's granted to diverse peoples. We ask our families to participate by preparing food from diverse locations around the world, to remind us of the worldwide participation of God's Kingdom.
We hope you consider joining us for this joyful event!
