Pentecost

The Day of Pentecost falls 50 days after Easter Sunday. It’s the day when we commemorate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles in Jerusalem. This Pentecost event is understood as the birth of the church – the body of Christ drawn together and given life by the Holy Spirit.

The season of Pentecost begins the Monday after Pentecost and continues through the summer and into the early fall. It is often referred to as “ordinary time,” a period of the church year not dedicated to a particular season or observance.

At Incarnation, the season of Pentecost is a time when the church calendar is not quite as full. Our program year comes to a close in mid June, which means our Sunday morning Bible Study, Children’s classes, and certain other ministries go on hiatus for the summer. The new program year starts up on Homecoming Sunday, the first Sunday after Labor Day.

Check out the News & Events page to stay on top of what’s happening throughout the summer. We still have Christian formation and fellowship offerings as well as volunteer opportunities.
