5 WORSHIP NEWS Contact: Wayne Efferson, Worship Servant Leader x206 or natwe@nativityparish.com PENTECOST SUNDAY Sunday, May 20 The Easter Season lasts 50 days ending with Pentecost Sunday, hence the name. It celebrates the overwhelming experience of God pouring out the spirit upon the first community of those who believed Jesus was the Lord and Christ (Acts 2:1-4). It is called the birth of the Church or the birth of the church s mission. The color for this day is Red which symbolizes the intense love and fire of the Holy Spirit. Consider wearing this color on this day. Also, a special prayer, called The Sequence is used on Pentecost after the 2nd reading. The Sequence invites the Holy Spirit to come upon us to recreate, heal, and forgive and is sung in a hymn form. HOME MISSIONS OUR OWN NEEDS COLLECTION On the Feast of Pentecost it is an appropriate action to take this special diocesan collection. This weekends collection (May 19-20) combines four major causes: Please donate generously. Catholic Communications/Evangelization, through which the Church is able to use media and technology to help spread the good news of Jesus. The Catholic University of America supports the work of this outstanding academic institution where many of our priests, religious, and lay people have received their education. The Catholic Home Missions Appeal gives grants to home mission dioceses and other missionary agencies in the United States and its dependencies. The Black and Native American Missions funds evangelization programs for these communities in dioceses throughout the country. Thank You!
