Roger Mason, Sunday morn- ing, spoke frau Acts 2:14, about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit) The word Pentecost means fifty, 50 days after Christ's resurrection. This is the Jewish Feast of Pentecost or Weeks. The Feast of Pentecost was a memorial to Moses giving the law from God, and also a day to celebrate the end of harvest.

They were those who had discovered Christ's overcoming power through prayer, and who shared Christ with others in a desire to win them also. They were a caring, loving people who broke down the barriers that divide people, and a worshipping people who were drawn together with others who loved Jesus and wanted to bring Him praise. Mr. Brown challenged those pre- sent to evaluate themselves personal- ly by those standards, to reach out for the help God gives, and thus to become a church which can minister effectively in our needy world of today. service concluded ' with a celebration of the Lord's Supper.
