I was going to suggest adding as a first paragraph: "Pentecost celebrates the time when the Holy Spirit first inspired Jesus's disciples to bear witness to his life, death and resurrection. Today we too are inspired to bear witness to our faith &emdash; not to gain converts, but rather to challenge our fellow Christians." (And then keeping the last paragraph pretty much as is, because it's important enough to say twice. :-) ) But moving it as you suggest works too, and has the virtue of not adding wordage!
Oh, we should probably add the date May 23rd to it somewhere (hmm, after 'This Pentecost' works best), for those like me who tend to find out what day it is in church on Sunday morning. :-)
I agree we should just start posting now. Do we want to use either the DW or the LJ community as a primary base, or should they mirror each other?
(I haven't received the LJ invite yet either, fwiw.)
