The Season of Pentecost: Living the All Saints’ Way

The Season of Pentecost begins with a spark—the Holy Spirit descending on the disciples, filling them with courage and purpose (Acts 2). It’s the moment the Church was born, and it reminds us that God’s Spirit is always with us, empowering us to live with faith and love.
At All Saints’, we celebrate Pentecost not just as a Church event, but as a living invitation to walk the All Saints’ Way. This means living out the values we hold dear—love, service, peace, reconciliation, justice, and respect—in our words, actions, and relationships every day.
During this longest season of the Church year, we’re called to grow. Like the green colour we see in churches at this time, it’s a season for flourishing—in our character, our compassion, and our commitment to others. Being an ASA student means living with purpose and heart, letting the Holy Spirit guide us as we build a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
I pray that this Pentecost season would inspire us to live out our values boldly and joyfully, as we walk the All Saints’ Way together.
