Pentecost Sunday: Service, Oasis, Mass & Concert





We have an epic Pentecost Sunday lined up:

Pentecost Sunday Service

On the Day of Pentecost the message of Christ's love was heard in the languages of all those present. Our service for Pentecost Sunday (31 May) will reflect the global partnerships of St Martin-in-the-Fields through contributions from and prayers for our Global Neighbours and HeartEdge partners. The service is shared by our Chinese and English speaking congregations and will be led by Revd Harry Ching. Our preacher will be The Very Revd Obed Xolani Dlwati, The Dean of St Mary’s Cathedral Johannesburg.

There will be contributions from our Chinese congregations, Global Neighbours committee, HeartEdge partners, and the Youth Pilgrimage group from St Mary's Cathedral. The service includes photographs of our Global Neighbours from Church of Ceylon, Fikelela HIV/Aids Project, Patashala School, SENEthiopa, Sisters of Melanesia, St Mary's Cathedral, Tariro, and Tree of Life.

If you wish, have a candle ready to light at the end of this service. For translations of the various languages used, please follow the Order of Service.

Pentecost Oasis

Another ‘Oasis’ time of quiet scripture reflection, prayer and practical art in our homes. The Oasis encourages us to explore, play with colour and be creative through collage, painting, drawing or writing.

CTiW: Ecumenical Pentecost Mass

Churches Together in Westminster are pleased to announce that instead an ecumenical Pentecost Mass will be livestreamed from Farm Street Church of the Immaculate Conception at 6pm on Sunday, 31st May 2020. It is hoped that the service will include recorded music by Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir, and the choirs of Farm Street and All Saints, Margaret Street. All are very welcome from whatever Christian tradition or none, to celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and to pray for our country and world at this time of crisis.

Then at 7pm comes our first online concert from St Martin's! We’ll be streaming a special #KeepOurDoorsOpen concert at the St Martin's facebook page and everyone is welcome from the comfort of their own home (no ticket required!).
