Pentecost Sunday
2024-05-19 11:00 - 13:30 (Europe/London) | The Miracle Centre, Rushley, Basildon, Essex, SS13 1SL, United Kingdom
Pentecost Sunday is a significant Christian holiday celebrated fifty days after Easter Sunday, marking the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ. The event is described in the New Testament book of Acts, where the disciples were gathered together in Jerusalem during the Jewish festival of Pentecost. Suddenly, a sound like a rushing wind filled the room, and tongues of fire appeared above each person’s head. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, allowing them to communicate the message of Jesus to people from different nations who had gathered in Jerusalem for the festival.

Pentecost is often referred to as the birthday of the Christian Church because it marks the beginning of the apostles’ ministry and the spread of Christianity throughout the world. It is a time for believers to celebrate the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives and to reflect on the mission of the Church to proclaim the gospel to all nations.

Join us on Sunday May 19th 2024 from 11am for this year Pentecost Sunday service.

Ash Wednesday
2024-02-14 00:00 - 23:59 UTC | Essex
Ash Wednesday is a Christian holy day marking the beginning of the season of Lent, a 40-day period of reflection and preparation leading up to Easter. It is observed by many Western Christian denominations, including Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, and Anglicans. Here are some key things to know:

Date: Ash Wednesday occurs six and a half weeks before Easter, falling on a different date each year between February 4th and March 11th. This year, it will be on February 14th, 2024.

Significance:

Repentance and reflection: Ash Wednesday is a day to focus on repentance and spiritual renewal. The ashes, formed from the palms used on the previous Palm Sunday, symbolize our mortality and remind us of the need for forgiveness and reconciliation with God.

Fasting and abstinence: Traditionally, Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting and abstinence from meat for Catholics and some other denominations.

Beginning of Lent: It marks the start of Lent, a 40-day period of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving leading up to Easter. During Lent, Christians focus on reflecting on Jesus’ sacrifice and preparing their hearts for his resurrection.

Observance:

Church services: Many churches hold special services on Ash Wednesday, where ashes are imposed on the foreheads of worshippers, often accompanied by the words “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

Personal reflection: Individuals may choose to observe Ash Wednesday through personal prayer, meditation, and acts of self-denial or sacrifice.

In conclusion, Ash Wednesday is a significant day for Christians, offering a time for introspection, repentance, and spiritual renewal as they prepare for Easter.
