A good crowd gathered to celebrate Pentecost on Sunday 8th June at the Nyah West Park. They came from Tooleybuc Church, the Nyah West Uniting, Catholic and Anglican Churches, and Swan Hill Anglican Church. Reverend Jan lead the service and members of the other denominations read the bible passages.
During the service a brisk wind blew from time to time reminding us of that first pentecost, but the sun shone, and there were hot drinks and lunch to warm us up following the service.
Pentecost marks the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birthday of the church so we sang happy birthday and cut the marvelous cake to celebrate.
We wore Red to mark the occasion, remebering the tongues of fire of that first Pentecost.
