From one of the Curates

This Sunday, the church across the world celebrates Pentecost, the day when God poured out his Holy Spirit on his people as we read in Acts 2. It’s been said that Christmas is ‘God with us’, Easter is ‘God for us’, and Pentecost is ‘God in us’: what an amazing promise and reality!

All believers are given the gift of God himself, the Holy Spirit, to enable us to know God’s love, to love him, become like him, and to be his witnesses. The Apostle Paul prays that the Ephesian church may be “filled to the measure of all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:19). Imagine if that prayer was answered here at All Saints Ecclesall!

This Pentecost may each of us consider where we need more of God’s presence, power, love, fruit, and gifts in our life - and may we follow St. Paul’s example in asking that we would be filled with all the fullness of God.

Wishing you a happy and holy Pentecost,
