Amen. Acts 2:1-21 When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. 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 3
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." But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, "Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: `In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord's great and glorious day. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " Psalm 104:25-35, 37 Benedic, anima mea BCP-736 (Anglican Chant sung by the Choir) Edward Cuthbert Bairstow 25 O LORD, how manifold are your works! * in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. 26 Yonder is the great and wide sea with its living things too many to number, * creatures both small and great. 27 There move the ships, and there is that Leviathan, * which you have made for the sport of it. 28 All of them look to you * to give them their food in due season. 4
29 You give it to them; they gather it; * you open your hand, and they are filled with good things. 30 You hide your face, and they are terrified; * you take away their breath, and they die and return to their dust. 31 You send forth your Spirit, and they are created; * and so you renew the face of the earth. 32 May the glory of the LORD endure for ever; * may the LORD rejoice in all his works. 33 He looks at the earth and it trembles; * he touches the mountains and they smoke. 34 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; * I will praise my God while I have my being. 35 May these words of mine please him; * I will rejoice in the LORD. 37 Bless the LORD, O my soul. * Hallelujah! Romans 8:22-27 We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Gradual Hymn Spirit Divine, Attend Our Prayers (vs. 1-3/4-5) Nun danket all H-509 The Gospel (please stand) John 15:26-27; 16:4b-15 Jesus said to his disciples, When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf. You also are to testify because you have been with me from the beginning. I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, Where are you going? But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your 5
hearts. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because they do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned. I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

Post Communion Prayer The Blessing BCP-365 BCP-366 Hymn at the Retiring Procession Holy Spirit, Ever Living H-511 Abbot s Leigh The Dismissal BCP-366 Postlude Fantasia super Komm Heiliger Geist, Herre Gott, BWV 651 Johann Sebastian Bach It has long been the custom at St. John s Church for the congregation to be seated and listen to the Organ Postlude. Please do not feel compelled to do so; but if you prefer to leave immediately after the candles are extinguished, please depart quietly so those who wish to do so may listen prayerfully to the Postlude. Today s Altar flowers are given in celebration of the lives of Albert and Mary Lou George by their daughter, Amy Schwarz, and grandson, Austin. If you have donated flowers today, after the service please take your flowers to a family member or shut in. We welcome back today Rev d. Frank B. Crumbaugh III, who is a native of Memphis, TN. He was educated at Centre College and The General Theological Seminary, and did additional work at The College of Preachers. He is an alumnus of The Wooden Boat School in Brooklin, ME. Fr. Crumbaugh spends at least an hour each day 7
writing; he enjoys hunting, fishing, and woodworking, particularly building wooden boats. Fr. Crumbaugh recently retired after more than twenty years as Rector of The Episcopal Church of The Holy Innocents in Beach Haven, on Long Beach Island. He is married to The Rev d. Gretchen D. Zimmerman, who serves as Priest-in-Charge of The Episcopal Church of The Holy Trinity in Ocean City, NJ. They have three children and five grandchildren. ANNOUNCEMENTS Music in Today s Liturgy: Today is the Feast of Pentecost, the fiftieth day of Easter. As is our practice at St. John s, all of the music used in the liturgy, whether congregational, choral, or instrumental, is selected to coordinate with the themes of the prayers and lessons. This should be apparent especially in the hymns and anthems today. The Choir will sing Psalm 104:25-35, 37 in an Anglican Chant setting by Edward Cuthbert Bairstow (1874-1946), an English organist (Yorkminster) and composer in the Anglican tradition. The Offering Anthem is a brief prayer for the Holy Spirit by Christopher Tye (1505-1572), an English Renaissance organist (Ely Cathedral) and composer. He stopped composing after he became a priest in 1561. The Communion Anthem is also a brief Pentecost Prayer set by Melchior (1579-1639), a German composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque eras. He was a hugely prolific composer of Protestant church music, especially motets, and assisted in bringing the stylistic innovations of the Venetian School north into Germany. The Organ Preludes are three of five versets, based on our Processional Hymn, by Nicolas de Grigny (1672-1703), a French organist (St. Denis, Paris) and composer. He died young and left behind a single collection of organ music, which together with the work of Francois Couperin, represents the pinnacle of the French Baroque organ tradition. The Postlude is a dynamic setting of the German chorale, Come, Holy Ghost, Lord, God. It is by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), who surely needs no introduction at St. John s. This Fantasy is the first in Bach s collection of great 18 Leipzig chorales. St. John s Choir: If you are interested in joining us as we continue to sing and lead worship through the months of May and June, concluding on St. John s Day, June 24 or if you know of someone who might be interested, please see Minister of Music, Bill Clisham, immediately after the Postlude or at Coffee Hour. No auditions are required, but a get acquainted meeting with Bill is necessary for placement and music assignment. Rehearsals are every Sunday morning at 9:00 AM prior to the 10:30 AM 8
Choral Eucharist. There are no scheduled mid-week rehearsals apart from Ash Wednesday and Holy Week. Food Pantry: The Food Pantry distribution day is now only on Tuesday from noon to 2:00 p.m. This decision was made after some careful research which noted that there are a number of other pantry sites within Salem City which cover all the days of the week with the exception of Tuesday. There are copies of the distribution sites on the hall counter in the Parish House. Please note that we continue to need volunteers and contributions. We served 43 people this week. The June calendar is posted on the office door and volunteers are asked to sign up. May s volunteers are: 5/1 Sue, 5/8 Gwen & Laurel, 5/15 Aud, 5/22 Laurie, Emma, Ryan, Eleanor & Evangelina, 5/29 Rick & Bonnie.
