DAY OF PENTECOST ~ Sunday, May 23, 2021, is the Day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descended upon The Disciples. We encourage you to celebrate this day by wearing red as well as placing a red geranium at the Altar. These geraniums will then be planted in our lovely gardens, a reminder of the Holy Spirit’s fire.
In May, 200 outfits will be transported by missionaries from the Hot Spring Baptist Church in Arkansas to Haiti. Each outfit was sewn by our church members and other volunteer friends.

the Haitian children with new clothes.
