REVIVE AT ST. MARYS, NORTH STAINLEY
A new style of church service starts this month in North Stainley. 'Revive' runs on the 2nd
and 4th Sundays of the month at 4pm and will normally be led by the Reverend Nick
Morgan. The service will be more informal in style than our Sunday morning services
and... well, rather than us trying to describe it, why not come along and find out? The
service is suitable for all ages (this does not mean it is only aimed at children, though, by
any means). This is in addition to North Stainley's regular Sunday morning services (1st
and 3rd Sundays of each month) which continue as before. The first services are at 4pm on
June 11th & 25th and July 9th in St Mary's Church, North Stainley. All welcome.

ACTS 2: 1-21
When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly
from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire
house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a
tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to
speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at
this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking
in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, Are not all these who
are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native
language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappado-
cia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to
Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabsin our own
languages we hear them speaking about Gods deeds of power. All were amazed and per-
plexed, saying to one another, What does this mean? But others sneered and said, They
are filled with new wine.
But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: Men of Judea
and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed,
these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine oclock in the morning. No, this is
what was spoken through the prophet Joel: In the last days it will be, God declares, that I
will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon
my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall
prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to
blood, before the coming of the Lords great and glorious day. Then everyone who calls on
the name of the Lord shall be saved.
JOHN 20: 19-23
When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house
where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among
them and said, Peace be with you. After he said this, he showed them his hands and his
side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, Peace
be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you. When he had said this, he breathed
on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are
forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.
