Pentecost Weekend 2026 — When the Fire Falls May 21–24, 2026 · John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church · Southfield, MI

This Pentecost, John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church is hosting a four-day weekend experience rooted entirely in Acts 2 — the moment the Holy Spirit fell, the church was born, and everything changed. From an intimate upper room gathering to a public Pentecost celebration, each day invites you deeper into the movement of Dwell, Gather, Speak, and Witness — because what happened in Acts 2 is still happening, and you are invited into it.
