Invitation for Pentecost: Learn the Lord's Prayer in a New Language!

Next Sunday, May 19, we celebrate the Day of Pentecost—the birthday of the church. On this day we give thanks for the gift of the Holy Spirit given to all people—people of different backgrounds, cultures, and languages.

As a spiritual practice, we invite you to learn the Lord's Prayer in a new language. During our worship on Pentecost Sunday, the congregation will be invited to recite the Lord's Prayer in many different languages, all at once. You may choose to learn the Lord's Prayer in a language that your ancestors spoke, or in a language that is completely new to you. We invite you to let the Holy Spirit move in and through you in a new way.

Would you like to lead our congregation in these prayers? We are looking for a few volunteer lectors to come forward to recite the Lord's Prayer in different languages simultaneously (with microphones at the 10:30 service and without at 7:45). Email Rev. Heidi if you are interested! hthorsen@trinitynewhaven.org
