🥞✨ Pentecost Sunday is going to look a little different at Crete Church!

This Sunday at 10:15am, we’ll be gathering downstairs in the basement for worship around the table — with Scripture, hymns, prayer, a short message, fellowship, and pancakes together.

Just as important moments of faith in Scripture happened around shared meals, we hope to experience the Spirit moving among us as we worship and connect with one another.

🍽 Everyone is welcome at the table.

So come hungry — for pancakes and for deeper connection with Christ and community.
