Reflection on Pentecost
After all of this teaching; all of this following; after
ALL of Easter, now what? God is not done with us yet.
This is such a well-known and well-loved passage. We can
draw on the parallels and contrasts between Peter’s speech and Joel chapter 2.
We can sing for joy recalling the birth of the Church. We can take heart and be
reminded at the cross-cultural nature and calling of the Church.
Above all else it should remind us of the incredibly
wild and subversive nature of our God, who is creatively calling us back to life
and faith again and again. Pentecost should always point us outwards, to see
that God is at work around us, and often using those outside the centres of
power and tradition.

EASTWOOD CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY AID
Did you notice the dip in the temperature during
the week? Your help is very welcome in building stocks of canned, warming foods
which will help those less fortunate than ourselves. Also remember that many
lonely people depend on their four-footed or bird friends for company and those
need feeding too.
