Pentecost Festival

The Pentecost Festival (9th - 11th May) will be a massive weekend party in central London with hundreds of free events and high impact performances. A cross-generational, multi-cultural celebration of the Church’s creativity and compassion that will fill hundreds of venues in the nations Capital.

The Big 10 events include: An evening with Tony Campolo & Graham Kendrick; Luv Esther; His Story; Hope Academy; Do you care?; Comedy Superstore; Start Something; Live at the Court; Science & Faith; and the Big Heat Swing Dance.

The Festival Feel is the carnival aspect of the festival with a range of teams and performers on the streets and a variety of events in the squares, the cafes, the bars and the open spaces. Best of all, these events will be free!

Based at at Methodist Central Hall Westminster, Pentecost People is your opportunity to receive teaching and engage with God in worship and prayer. Come and explore Pentecost through the arts, Bible study and teaching. Pentecost People also seeks to equip and resource the church's development. It will be an area where people are welcome to explore the Christian faith, grow in their own understanding and rediscover what Pentecost means for each of us in our lifetime.

Finally, for the Global Day of Prayer the nation is invited to come to Millwall Football stadium to pray and to worship. Last year, on Pentecost Sunday 2007, London’s churches brought together thousands joining ½ billion people around the world in prayer for London, the UK and the nations: a global day of prayer. On the afternoon of May 11th 2008 the Pentecost Festival will climax with a similar faith-building finale, standing with the Global Day of Prayer. Worship will be led by All Souls Orchestra, Graham Kendrick, Psalm Drummers and Dance Team, Godfrey Birtill, Noel Robinson, Geraldine Latty, Dave Bilbrough, Muyiwa, Greenjade and many more.
