On May 27 and 28, Church of the Palms will celebrate Pentecost. Wearing red on Pentecost is a great tradition: it’s an outward sign of the inward transformation by the Holy Spirit in each of our hearts. As “tongues of fire” came to rest on these disciples on that first Pentecost long ago, we gather together and then leave still blazing with the fire of hope God offers all through God’s Spirit.
Red is a sign that the good news of Jesus came to all who were there in a language they could understand from people with whom they would not otherwise have communicated.
So you are invited to wear red for Pentecost. You are also invited to proclaim the reality of grace, hope, and salvation in Jesus.
