Pentecost 2019

Today is the Day of Pentecost for 2019.

While many of the world’s churches acknowledge it, they tend to miss various aspects of its meaning (see also the article Pentecost: Is it more than Acts 2?).

For those who cannot attend live services, here is our suggested format for Pentecost services this year:

2-3 hymns (our songbook, The Bible Hymnal, contains the materials from the 1974 Bible Hymnal from the old WCG with new covers, plus ten additional hymns; there is also some Choral Accompaniment online).
Opening prayer.
Offertory: Pentecost Offertory. Other sermonettes are available at the Bible News Prophecy channel.
Announcements (if any) and one hymn.
Sermon: God’s Pentecost Plan and Your Part in It. Other sermons are also available at the ContinuingCOG channel.
Final hymn.
Closing prayer.

For those who wish two services, here is a second suggested service:
