On Tuesday 15th May at 8.00 pm, Rathgar Methodist Church will be the venue for a concert given by The Trevecca Nazarene University Singers from Nashville in the US.

On Friday 25th May, at 8.00 pm in the church, Maeve Coghlan will be returning for a second year to give a recital of favourite songs.

A PRAYER AT PENTECOST

Living God,

We remember how you transformed the lives of the apostles through the breath of your Spirit.
Take our weak and hesitant faith
and fill us with unshakeable trust in your purpose.
Take our stumbling discipleship
and grant us energy and enthusiasm to proclaim the gospel through word and deed.
Take our fears and anxieties and give us courage and your peace that passes all understanding.
Take our gifts and talents and use them in the service of your kingdom.
AMEN
