Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
This Sunday lies between Ascension and Pentecost and allows us to celebrate that time of hope-filled longing for the Spirit - a kind of "mini-Advent" in the midst of Easter.
Do not stop singing Easter hymns... Easter really, really does last until Pentecost- and your music should say so.
Musical references to the Holy Spirit can reinforce the proximity of Pentecost.
