The Celebration of Pentecost - Sunday, May 28, 2023
Welcome to worship at Glebe-St. James!
Join us in person or via our livestream as we continue to reflect on the story of Jesus in this 'post-Easter' period. Following closely on the heels of Ascension Sunday, we now find ourselves at the celebration of Pentecost. Pentecost comes to us from the greek meaning "fiftieth", as it's fifty days after Easter. Here we mark the descent of the Holy Spirit to the disciples, following Christ's Ascension.
Hilda Sabadash will read the welcoming message, and Rev. Dr. Teresa Burnett-Cole will lead us in worship. Pam Fitch will read our scripture reading from John 20:19-23, with a readers theatre based off of Acts 2:1-21. James Caswell, our Minister of Music and the choir will lead us in music and song.
If you'd like to read along the sermon texts, prayers, hymn lyrics and even the children's story, find the service bulletin linked here.

Alternately, consider 'subscribing' to the GSJ YouTube channel and use the 'notification' (the 'bell' symbol on the GSJ YouTube channel) to be notified when we go live. If, for any reason, the webcast is interrupted and we need to re-start with a new link, you should both get a notification, or you should still be able to connect by looking for the red 'live' thumb-nail image.
You can now view the weekly announcement slides or on our "What's Happening?" page. Scroll through at your own pace, or let them auto-play - your choice! Sign up for our e-Update to keep up on more of the life and work of the church.
