THIS SUNDAY: Pentecost and the Presiding Bishop’s Visit

This Sunday on Pentecost, we will have our regularly scheduled Holy Eucharists at 8 and 10 a.m. Sometimes referred to as the birthday of the Church, the Feast of Pentecost takes place 50 days after Easter and commemorates the Holy Spirit visiting Jesus’ followers (see Acts 2:1-13). It’s a grand celebration, and all attendees are encouraged to wear red to help celebrate!

The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, will join in our celebration at 1 p.m. The service primarily will be in Spanish with English translation. We look forward to extending an extravagant welcome to Presiding Bishop Curry, sharing with him the vibrant warmth and rhythms of our Ministerio Hispano and our monthly fiesta! If you don’t normally attend the 1 p.m. service at CCC, we do ask that you RSVP so we know how many people to expect. If you want to join us only for the fiesta after the worship service, RSVP here.
