Please come join us in prayer, praise, thanksgiving, song and supplication. Come and gain a closer knowledge of and union with the Holy Spirit, Jesus’ gift to us at the first Pentecost. (Acts 2:1-21) It is our great desire to give God glory and to develop a personal relationship with Jesus. We invite you to be one with us, and to partake of His gifts.
“Open yourself to the gifts of the Holy Spirit who never ceases to grant them.”
– Pope Benedict XVI at 2008 Pentecost celebration.
Catholic Charismatic Renewal: An evangelistic renewal movement seeking to restore the experience of being baptized in the Holy Spirit and the use of the charismatic gifts to the heart of Catholic Christian life. A prayer group is evangelistic when the members have zeal for spreading the good news of Jesus Christ and bring others into a personal relationship with Jesus and take concrete steps to reach out to others.
Charismatic Prayer Meetings: The informal worship session of a charismatic group who meet to praise and listen to God. Praise is expressed in a number of ways: song, formal or spontaneous prayer, silence, or joyous exclamations. God speaks to those gathered through scripture, teaching exhortation, charismatic gifts and personal sharing.
Reminder: There are no participation requirements, just be willing to open your heart to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and all that God wants to give you.
1 Thessalonians 5:19-22
