When the Spirit Comes: The Gifts of Pentecost for the 21st Century Church - speaker Debie Thomas

At the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts Clergy Conference 2024 (Devens MA, April 20 and 30) the guest speaker was Debie Thomas. She spoke on 'When the Spirit Comes: The Gifts of Pentecost for the 21st Century Church' - four sessions drawing on the lectionary texts for Pentecost Sunday.

As part of our goal to uphold and promote valuable resources within our diocese, for clergy and laity alike, TSPC are delighted to share below (with gracious permission) videos of those four sessions, for your use and inspiration.
