Easter is wrapping up and we're headed this week for Pentecost Sunday. On this day that marks the infilling of Christ's Church with the Holy Spirit, the seasonal color is red, signifying the color of the Church. Many like to wear red on this day to demonstrate the unity of Christ's Body. Perhaps you'll wear red this Sunday.Today's reading from the community scripture way is the powerful image from Ezekiel 37, a passage that resonates with Pentecost as the giving of God's living spirit to his people.

Tonight's regularly scheduled Wednesday evening gatherings are slightly modified. We'll still eat together at 6:00 for community dinner, but tonight we'll gather in the home of Dana & Elise Parker at 12 Sewall Street in Quincy (click here for a map). Bring food enough for yourself. Elise will provide water to drink and dinnerware. An then just before 7:00, in lieu of regular Bible study, everyone's invited to walk on over to the Wollaston Church of the Nazarene for the opening worship service for the New England District NMI Convention.
Here's the District Convention & Assembly worship schedule for the rest of the week. You're all invited! (All services are at the Wollaston Church of the Nazarene):
