St. John’s United Church of Christ, 1415 Rising Sun Road, Laury’s Station, will celebrate confirmation on May 20, Pentecost.

Pastor James Gottwald notes the disciples heard the rush of a violent wind and received the gift of the Holy Spirit, which was the beginning of their ministry on the “maiden flight” of the church.

He reports confirmation is the day on which those who have been studying and praying begin the public profession of their faith.

The actions of the first Pentecost so many years ago are continued through the rituals of confirmation and the sending forth of young people “to spread their wings and share the good news.”

For Memorial Day, St. John’s UCC will decorate the sanctuary with geraniums during the 10:15 a.m. worship service on May 27.
