“For all that has been,
Thank you.
For all that is to come,
Yes!”

'This is the only prayer (apart from the Lord's Prayer) that I know off by heart. It's by Dag Hammarskjold, former UN Secretary-General, and seems to cover most situations.'

Preparing for Pentecost

Acts 2: 1-21

Sunday 31 May 2020 is Pentecost Sunday, Whit Sunday.

Our Pentecost — Joyce Dent, UK

Pentecost came once –

long long, so long ago!

What can it mean to us

but to inspire perhaps?

And yet could it be so

that we might know

the fire upon our heads

and in our souls?

Our lives might yet be changed

beyond out wildest dreams –

or fears?

For we might have to go

out, near or far, to show

in caring deeds

or daring words

that Jesus still is here –

and calls to us

to walk the walk

and talk the talk

of long ago –

for people

of this present

Pentecost!

Music

Pentecost is the day everyone understands in their own language -- communication is perfect -- the sound, the visual -- everybody gets the message. Here you can learn how to 'Pass the Peace of Christ' in British Sign Language. It's beautiful. Give it a try!

Peace-sign language

And here's a link to ‘Sing for the World: Global Songs’ by John Bell and Alison Adam.
‘Don’t be Afraid’ is especially apt for these times.
