The Rector has been asked to offer prayers at both the Central Cemetery and the War Memorial at the foot of Bourne's Rock beneath the church on Memorial Day, May 25. It is a special day of recognition for those who have given their lives in service to our country. O Judge of the nations, we remember before you with grateful hearts the men and women of our country who in the day of decision ventured much for the liberties we now enjoy. Our worship expresses the Spirit of Pentecost in many ways. Perhaps the most visible is our decoration of the church with kites.
Languages also play a part.
On Pentecost the disciples proclaimed the Good News of Christ's compassion in every language so that all the world could understand. The Lord's Prayer will be offered in Fijian as well as English. It all comes together to say that we are one body in Christ whose Spirit lifts us up so that all the world may come to know God's love. Let's see red on Pentecost. The color for Pentecost is red Red is the color of fire that seemed to rest upon each of the disciples as they were filled with the Holy Spirit.
