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.

Please support this special offering as we share the good news of Jesus Christ, since we have received the gift of His own Holy Spirit. Thank you.

Life Line Screening, a leading provider of community-based preventive health screenings, will offer their affordable, non-invasive and painless health screenings at Bentwood Trail Presbyterian Church on 6/27/2016.
Five screenings will be offered that scan for potential health problems related to: blocked arteries which is a leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or irregular heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for men and women, used to assess the risk of osteoporosis. Register for a Wellness Package which includes 4 vascular tests and osteoporosis screening from $149 ($139 with our member discount). All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete.
