Each year, we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday.

On Pentecost Sunday, we remember the story from the book of Acts about how the apostles gathered, were filled with the Spirit, and with tongues of fire resting above their heads, began spontaneously speaking in different languages.

This was the beginning of the church, in a way — a group of people that gathers together and goes forth to share the Gospel throughout the world.
