Pentecost Celebration - All Are Welcome, Really!!

First Baptist Church, King and Charlotte Streets,
Pottstown, is again focusing on the third great holiday of the Christian year
that is often forgotten:  Pentecost (read the second
chapter of Acts for the biblical story). 
Since Easter, FBCers have been celebrating and honoring this holiday by
daily tasks such as group prayer meets, picking up litter, recontacting a
friend, going out to dinner together and purging our closets of unneeded
"stuff" we "hoard" which needs to be given away or sold at
our Flea Market on Saturday, June 7th from 7 a.m. - 1 p.m.  Space is going quickly but a few spaces are still
available at $5 (or $10 with a table provided) in our Charlotte Street parking
lot.  Held rain or shine (if rain,
indoors).  We will also have a White
Elephant table available for those who wish to donate items to the
"Refurbishing The Ark" campaign of repointing the beautiful stonework
and restoring the gorgeous stainglass windows! 
Former homeless people who have found housing via the Cluster's efforts,
may stop by between 12:30 - 1:00 p.m. to take whatever remaining/unsold items for
free that they want from the FBC table at no charge.  If you know someone in need, please let them
know! 

Then on
Sunday, June 8th we will have (in church) service at 10 a.m., wear RED to
symbolize the wind and fire symbols of the Spirit.   We will then gather by the river at
Riverfront Park, College Drive (park in the PECO lot) at 5 p.m. for our annual
bonfire.  Bring a chair and share in the
songs, cake & personal baptism renewals (no one is getting into the river,
we'll have a symbolic container of water that you can stand by the river and
renew your faith yourself).  Paper will
be provided there or you can pre-write something negative in your life; they will
be collected & tossed in the fire. 
This will help rid ourselves of the impact negative thoughts &
actions have in our lives.  Friends,
family and strangers all are welcome to join us in celebration of Pentecost!  All
are welcome, really.
