Greetings and may God’s peace be with you.
Here is more information about Pentecost. According to the book of Acts, all the followers of Jesus gathered in Jerusalem. The place Jesus instructed them to be. These are his followers, including Jesus’s disciples. They all witnessed his teachings, healings, and miracles. They knew Jesus had promised something for them.
In John 14, Jesus promised that he would give them a Helper, which he indicated as the Holy Spirit in verse 26. But the Helper will teach you everything. The Helper is the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name. He laid out what would happen, what the followers needed to do, and the deliverance of the gift he promised. Jesus also mentioned here the Holy Spirit as the gift. Most of them did not quite understand what he meant.

In place of our usual Devotional message, I'm using this space to provide information on what's happening at our church. With the outbreak of the coronavirus, we have chosen to suspend all in-person gatherings. This includes our Sunday Worship, Bible Study, Community Dinners, and other events. Our Thrift Store is also temporarily closed. We've done this for the health and safety of the public and our attendees and to follow state and CDC guidelines. 
Like many other churches and organizations, we have changed to virtual worship services and Bible studies using video conferencing where people can safely participate from their homes. We also regularly communicate with our attendees using email and our Facebook page. If you would like to get on our email list, join any of our video conference events, or have any questions, please use the contact methods at the bottom of this email. We welcome all who seek to learn and move closer to God.
endees - Archbishop Paul Richard died on March 25th. Known to us as "Bishop Paul", he was a native of Gardner and frequently attended Sunday services at our church. Bishop Paul sang with us, worshipped with us, helped us, and participated in our Bible Studies. He was a man who devoted his life to doing God's work. We will miss his presence.
