PENTECOST SUNDAY!

Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr., has called for a massive observance of the Day of Pentecost! Sunday, May 20, 2018 is Pentecost Sunday (also known as Whitsunday in some traditions). On this day the birth of the Christian Church is celebrated along with the descent of the Holy Spirit.

According to Scripture this occurred 50 days after the death of Jesus Christ and 10 days after His Ascension. Pentecost had initially been an ancient Israelite harvest festival.

Bishop Blake's desire is not just the Church Of God In Christ, but all Christians should seek for the power of the Holy Spirit in their life. He has stated, "I want everyone in the Church to experience being filled with the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues."
