SNEUCC's Pentecost Worship Service
is Ready to Download!
Rev. Liz Garrigan-Byerly, Area Conference Minister for the North Central Region, has coordinated this “plug and play” worship service. She says, "At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit united the followers of Jesus in shared praise and mission. We hope that these worship resources will do the same for the churches of the Southern New England Conference. Come, Holy Spirit, come!"
Worship segments are pre-recorded. Full service or individual elements are now available for download and congregational use. The videos will remain available on the website and can be on Pentecost Sunday, or any time that is convenient.
