We list three dates for Pentecost because some members prefer the Jewish method of counting, some prefer the method used in the WCG 1975-1995, and some prefer the date observed by most other Christian churches. Pastors are rarely able to offer three Pentecost services, so each congregation must choose which date to observe.
All annual festivals are optional, and congregations always have flexibility with the dates.
