A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2   He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters,
3 He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk   through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.

Pentecost Sunday

June 4, 2017

Verse of the week:

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.  And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting.  And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributed and resting on each one of them.  And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.  Acts 2: 1-4
