Bentwood Trail e-News is a weekly newsletter of news and events within Bentwood Trail Presbyterian Church, Grace Presbytery and our community.

PENTECOST SUNDAY

This Sunday, during worship, we will celebrate Pentecost (meaning "fifty days") which ends the Easter Season. Fifty days after Easter, God sent the gift of His Holy Spirit to empower the new community of Jesus' disciples, the Church. Don't forget to wear RED, the liturgical color of Pentecost. Red represents the fiery tongues of fire that symbolize the Spirit's impassioned presence among us.

At the conclusion of the service, we will gather on the front porch to celebrate the life-giving breath of God by joyfully blowing bubbles to His glory.   
SPUDS, SALADS AND SMILES
Linda Freeland is back!
 She needs no introduction and we all love her.
 This time she will sing a combo of 30's 40's and 50's songs with some Patsy Cline gospels.
 Now it doesn't get any better than that.
