Bishop's Monthly Meditation

June 2014 Meditation

By Bishop Teresa Snorton

PENTECOST
(Read Acts 2)

We think of Pentecost as a single event, when the Holy Spirit descended on the 
disciples. In reality Pentecost is an ongoing event.  The Holy Spirit is still moving and working among us.  In an age that is driven by logic, media sound  bites and social hotspots like Facebook and Twitter, it is often difficult to leave room for the mystery and majesty of God.  God’s presence and power was  manifested on the day of Pentecost recorded in Acts, Chapter 2.  That same 
presence and power is very much with us in today’s world.

The social forces of today play on our emotions, appeal to our darkside, draw 
out our desire for the sensational and the extreme, and in many ways engage us 
in an unspoken game of “one-upsmanship” as even church folks “compete” to post 
the most “religious” saying, video or prayer of the day!

But the season of Pentecost calls out our ability to be in awe of things we 
don’t understand, to surrender our imagined control of things, to expect the 
unexpected and to stand ready to be used by God.

Sometimes referred to as the “Birthday of the Church”, Pentecost Sunday is 50 days after Easter.

This year PENTECOST SUNDAY IS JUNE 8, 2014.  The liturgical color for the season 
is RED.
