Pentecost Sunday is thought of as the birthday of the church, when the Holy Spirit – the very presence of God – came into the church and gave it life. How are we meant to engage this mysterious aspect of the Trinity throughout the year? What does the Holy Spirit stand for, and what does it say to us today? This class covers not just historical and Biblical aspects, but the ongoing and lively challenge—and personal invitations—of this aspect of God. Come listen for how this spirit of the summer may be calling you.
