On Pentecost Sunday, the Diocese of Newark will take the altar into the world in the city of Newark. To be held at Trinity & St. Philip's Cathedral (outside, weather permitting), this festive, colorful, lively Pentecost service will be led by Bishop Mark Beckwith and will feature:
"Paperless" music by Marilyn Haskel, Music Associate at Trinity Wall Street;
The Gospel Choir of Church of the Incarnation in Jersey City;
The Rev. Dr. M. William "Bill" Howard of Bethany Baptist Church in Newark as guest preacher;
Readers in numerous languages;
Norman Chin's Chinese Lion Dancers.
Congregations and our partner organizations are invited to bring a small, portable item that symbolizes their ministry and mission, to be presented for blessing at the service. Some examples are: a soup pot or an item of food (for food-related ministries); a small construction tool (for housing-related ministries); a folded sheet or pillowcase (for shelter-related ministries); a container of infant formula (for ministries to mothers and children). Use your imagination! If your ministry or mission doesn't lend itself to a small, portable symbol, a photo is also welcome.
Congregations are also invited to bring thuribles, streamers and dove kites to use during the service. And of course, attendees are invited to wear RED!
For more information please contact the Rev. Ginny Dinsmore, Coordinator for Missional Church Strategy, at gdinsmore@dioceseofnewark.org or 973-430-9912.
