Contemplative Pentecost Service Planned

Mennonite Life, 2215 Millstream Road, Lancaster, will host a contemplative Pentecost service in the Biblical Tabernacle Experience on Saturday, May 30, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

The contemplative experience will draw attendees into God's ongoing journey with humanity from the tabernacle to the cross to Pentecost. In the service, participants will respond to God's presence together as they journey through a series of stations featuring Scripture; music; and practices that engage the senses, such as hand washing and anointing.

The Biblical Tabernacle Experience is a reproduction of the tabernacle as described in the Hebrew Scriptures. The tabernacle is a valuable way to understand God's relationship with God's people throughout history, illuminating God's desire to dwell among His people, to offer redemption for broken humanity through Emmanuel, and to show God's kingdom breaking into the world today through the Holy Spirit.

Staff members will invite the group to examine the significance of the physical pieces of the Biblical Tabernacle and offer questions for contemplation. The service is open to all but is best suited for youths and adults.

The event is free but requires registration. To register, visit http://www.mennonitelife.org/events or call 717-393-9745.

Mennonite Life's vision is diverse communities connecting across boundaries by knowing and valuing their own and each other's stories of life, faith, cultures, and histories.
