Several churches included a celebration of the Pentecost Project in worship this past Sunday, and stories are pouring in about what relationships have formed, what healing has occurred and how God has become so real in the community. Please send updates about the Pentecost Project in your congregation to sandhya@ccncn.org; she would love to have opportunities to share those stories!
If you have not already done a celebration of the Pentecost Project participants in worship, consider using this ritual as a way of doing so: "Celebrating your Pentecost Project Participants in worship" or use it as a template for something better suited to your congregation. Some congregations ended up having the whole congregation participate in one project (Disciples of Christ Visalia's vacation bible school was a powerful outreach to children almost entirely outside the church), while others did individual projects in ways that inspired and energized one another to do their own projects with renewed vigor and integrity. Pacific Grove Christian Church watched this video in worship on Sunday that lifted up some of the powerful projects they engaged in this summer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh0Yq9Q2UaU.
Keep the stories coming in and keep the Pentecost Project energy alive! Maybe we'll be able to inspire one another with God's pentecost spirit in our midst and in our neighborhoods again next year!!!
