Thursday Evenings at All Hallows (Thursday June 5, 2025) Is Now Online

Welcome to Thursday Evenings at All Hallows.

This Thursday evening is the last Thursday evening of the Easter Season. This coming Sunday is the Feast of Pentecost, also known as Whitsunday or Whitsun. Like Christmas, Easter, and Ascension, it is a important festival of the Church year. It celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus’ disciples.

In England Whitsun and Whitsuntide, the week that followed, were considered the first holiday of the summer and were observed with fairs and parades.

In churches of a number of Christian traditions, it is customary to vest the pulpit-lectern and the communion table with red paraments, clergy to wear red stoles, and the congregation to dress in red on the Feast of Pentecost. The red symbolizes the tongues of fire that burned above the heads of those gathered in the upper room when the Holy Spirit descended.

The topic of this evening’s message is “testing the spirits.”

Reading: 1 John 4:1-6

Message: How to Test the Spirits
