BTPC HEADER 

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.
 
STEWARDSHIP COMMUNION SUNDAY

On Sunday, May 24, we collect the PCUSA Pentecost Offering benefiting children at risk, and youth ministries.
