Acts 2:1-21
New International Version (NIV)
The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,[b] 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”
Peter Addresses the Crowd
14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 “‘In the last days, God says,
    I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
    your young men will see visions,
    your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
    and they will prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in the heavens above
    and signs on the earth below,
    blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21 And everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Questions about our worship service.

Children’s Church

THE CHILDREN’S TIME -  As the children make their way to the front of the sanctuary, please join the choir in singing Jesus Loves Me. Following Children’s Time there is Children’s Church for children under 5 years-old.

A NURSERY is available in the education building during Sunday School and Worship for infants/toddlers.  Just ask a greeter or usher.
Nursery Workers / Children’s Church:


When do we have communion at Wesley Memorial UMC?

communionAm I welcome to Communion? (Lord's Supper or Eucharist) Yes. All are welcome to take part in Communion. You do not have to be a member of Wesley Memorial UMC to participate. Typically, our church celebrates communion on the first Sunday of each month.
Communion Overview United Methodist Church
                           

Did you know that grape juice, as we know it today, was created by a Methodist Communion steward, Thomas Welch, who sought to provide an alternative to wine used in Holy Communion? Read on to learn why United Methodist churches continue to favor the “unfermented juice of the grape.”



Children’s Church – following “Children’s Time” in the worship service.  Children ages 5 and under are invited to participate in a lesson, music, prayer, and offertory.  They may be picked up after Worship in the Education Building


How can persons become Members?
By Confession of Faith—this process marks the initial entrance into membership in the Church, when one confesses faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  By Reaffirmation of Faith—renewing our confession of faith after a period of inactivity or not being on a church membership role.  Transfer of Membership—you may be joining from another United Methodist Church or a Christian church of another denomination.  We recognize baptism from all other Christian churches.



Questions:
Most Important - We want your experience with Wesley Memorial to be an enjoyable, inviting and lasting one. We are here for you. We want to provide a church family that allows you to become closer to God and helps you live a Christ-filled life.

What Should I wear? We know you might be worried about wearing the right thing when you come to church; we invite you to come as you are.  Whether you are more comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt, polo and khakis, or a suit and tie, you'll fit right in at Wesley Memorial. No matter what your personal style, you’ll be comfortable at wesley Memorial Church. If you prefer dressy, business, or casual attire, chances are there will be others dressed much like you no matter when you visit.The most common form of dress could be best described as “casual.” Most of the folks at the Comtemporary Worship Service at 9 a.m. will be dressed casual.

Where is the Nursery? - It is on the first floor of the Education Building (follow breeze-way at front of church). As you enter the door you will be facing an elevator. The nursery is the second door on the right. The nursery opens at 9:45 a.m.
Can my child stay with me during the service?
Your Child is always welcome to stay with you during service.
Where do I park? Park along Heyward Street or Queen Street. Both sides can be used and you should find ample space. Handicap spaces are directly in front of the sanctuary  on the Heyward Street side and on the west side on Queen Street.

Will greeters or others be on hand to help me? Greeters will greet you when you enter, provide you with a worship program that tells everything that is happening in the service.


Can I meet the Pastor? The Pastor would love to meet you!  Pastor Sipes will be in the foyer after worship every Sunday morning to personally greet our guests and they ask that you take a moment to stop and say hello. If you would like a more in-depth visit with the Pastor, please call the church office 803-771-4540 to set up a time for a personal visit or phone call 803-771-4540 Email Pastor Sipes.

Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. James 1:2-4
