On Pentecost, the Spirit did not stay in one place. It moved outward — across languages, cultures, and every barrier people believed separated them. In that moment, a new kind of community was born, shaped by courage, generosity, and love.

That same Spirit is still moving today.

In a world where many people feel uncertain, divided, or disconnected from one another, the Church is called to be a different kind of presence — one that reflects Christ’s compassion, humility, and grace.

The Prophet Micah reminds us what God asks of us:
“To do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly withyour God.” — Micah 6:8

Not just believe.
Not just gather.
But to live in ways that bring healing and hope.

Because faith without justice is empty — and justice, at its heart, is love in action.

The Pentecost Offering helps support New Church Ministry‍ and your Region to nurture emerging and affiliating faith communities. Through these ministries, new spaces are created where people can encounter God, build meaningful relationships, and serve their neighbors with compassion.

Your gift helps these communities grow in neighborhoods seeking connection and hope.

Thank you for giving, praying, and helping the Spirit continue its work among us.

For Times Such as These.

Please give generously to the Pentecost Special Offering.
