“Sunday is Consecration and Commitment Sunday at Second and Bishop Fugh comes to preach a Holy Spirit-filled message during this Pentecost Season, a time of spiritual renewal and revival celebrated throughout the Fifth Episcopal District,” said Baskin-Bell.
“Our objective is to present ourselves for the sacred work of serving the Almighty God. The Super Sunday worship is also an opportunity for the family and community to join us in this divine encounter,” she added.
