Weekly E-Pistle: Pentecost Sunday at Douglas UCC

6/7/2019

 
Picture
This church is on fire!  This Sunday, we celebrate Pentecost. Just as the apostles became filled with the flames of the Holy Spirit, we, too, celebrate the Holy Spirit aflame in our hearts. Come learn how we can kindle this flame in ourselves and in one another. We encourage you to WEAR RED to church this Sunday. After our service, we will gather together for our annual GROUP PHOTO in front of the church. After the photo, join us in the Friendship Hall for our 2nd Sunday of the Month POTLUCK. Please bring a dish to share.

​This Sunday, we will be taking a special collection for the UCC's "Strengthen the Church" campaign, which supports the expansion and growth of UCC local congregations. Please use the specially marked envelopes in the pews on Sunday to donate to this offering. To learn more about "Strengthen the Church," watch this short video.
