Dear Friends,
As we remember how the Holy Spirit came down on the day of Pentecost with a rushing wind and fire, symbolic of power and fervor, we need to SEEK the outpouring of the Spirit on us as we proclaim Christ and His message of forgiveness and new life. On this day, some wear the color 'Red' to remember the fire & fervor of the Holy Spirit who makes Christ real to us and helps us glorify Christ.
On this Memorial Weekend, we remember also especially those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country and for freedom. Let us come & seek God!
COME HOLY SPIRIT! Come & Fill Us!
Pastor Yim
