10:30 One Church Service – Christian Life Ministry Center

May 19 – Pentecost

Pastor Tom will lead the ONE Church Worship Service this Sunday, May 19, at 10:30 a.m. in celebration of Pentecost.

Scripture readings are Romans 8:22-27, Genesis 11:1-9, and Acts 2:1-21.

All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
– Acts 2:4 –

The greeting question is: What language will you speak in heaven?

Special guests for the ONE Church Worship Service and lunch that follows are Bishop Connie Mitchell Shelton and Rev. Jon Strother, our District Superintendent.
