3 Leader: All: We gather in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen Call to Worship Leader: When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. All: Suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Leader: Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All: All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit. Hymn O Holy Spirit, Enter In wie schön leuchtet 3

4 Prayer of the Day Lesson 1 Corinthians 12:3-11 Psalm 65:5-8 Read in unison By awesome deeds you answer us with deliverance, O God of our salvation; you are the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas. By your strength you established the mountains; you are girded with might. You silence the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples. Those who live at earth s farthest bounds are awed by your signs; you make the gateways of the morning and the evening shout for joy. 4 Leader: All: Leader: All: Holy God, as your people gather here today, rekindle in us your holy fire. Embolden us with the faith so that we may share the transforming news of Jesus with all people. Open and transform our hearts and minds so that your love is our strongest motivation. Amen The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. And also with you. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says Let Jesus be cursed! and no one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses. WE INVITE CHILDREN TO DOCK AT THIS TIME Please make sure your child is wearing a nametag with name and grade level. ************* See FRONT OF INSERT for Pickup Locations ************** Anthem Holy Spirit, Living Breath of God K.

5 Anthem Ev ry Time I Feel the Spirit arr. John Rutter Combined Choirs; Katie Holisky, Bob Storeygard, Ralph Olsen, soloists Lesson Acts 2:5-13 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs in our own languages we hear them speaking about God s deeds of power. All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, What does this mean? But others sneered and said, They are filled with new wine. Sacrament of Holy Baptism 10:30 Micah Douglas Heagle Son of Kristin and Eric Heagle Apostles Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen 5
