Before he left them for the final time, after his resurrection, Jesus promised to send "another comforter". Acts 2 describes it: "They were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them."

With a new enthusiasm bursting out from them, they went outside, speaking out in languages they had never learned - but ones their listeners did know. Their own languages. People from all over the known world were hearing the good news in their own languages. God speaking through these (mostly) uneducated country folks. The church was born. The good news spread. Has it reached you yet?

 Join us on Sunday 20th May as we celebrate Pentecost and share the Lord's Prayer in all our languages.
