Spring Surge...Preparing for Pentecost--Fire and Spirit

With the current Covid-19 Crisis our congregations and faith leaders have had to adapt ministry both digitally and through social distancing. How will we create a vision beyond Easter Sunday (one of our biggest attendance and outreach days)? Pentecost would be the end of May and the time when many countries would begin to experience a Business Surge as well as a Spring Surge. The Pentecost event included the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, one of two themes used by the prophets in the exilic communities. John the Baptist predicted that Jesus' ministry would involve these two themes of Fire and Spirit as the Gospel grew in communities seeking healing and forgiveness.
