CANTICLE OF PRAISE GRACIOUS SPIRIT, HEED OUR PLEADING PRAYER OF THE DAY 3

Let us pray. O God, on this day you open the hearts of your faithful people by sending into us your Holy Spirit. Direct us by the light of that Spirit, that we may have a right judgment in all things and rejoice at all times in your peace, through Jesus Christ, your Son and our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. The assembly is seated. FIRST READING: Acts 2:1 21 (Please turn to page 123 in the New Testament of your pew Bible). Pentecost was a Jewish harvest festival that marked the fiftieth day after Passover. Luke portrays the Holy Spirit being poured out upon the disciples before the gathered and astonished people assembled in Jerusalem for the festival. Filled with the Spirit, the disciples were able to witness to the power of Christ's resurrection. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. SECOND READING: 1 Corinthians 12:3b 13 (Please turn to page 182 in the New Testament of your pew Bible). Paul is helping the Corinthians understand the relationship between our God-given unity and Spirit-created diversity. The Spirit creates the unity of faith and gives all Christians diverse gifts for the common benefit of all. We need one another's diverse spiritual gifts, because the same Spirit has given them to each person for the common good. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. The assembly stands. 4

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION GOSPEL: John 20:19 23 (Please turn to page 119 in the New Testament of your pew Bible).

NICENE CREED We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,* who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. *Or, "who proceeds from the Father." The phrase "and the Son" is a later addition to the creed. 7

PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION Rejoicing in the risen life of Christ, let us pray for the church, the world, and all who are in need. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. Congregational refrain: HEAR OUR PRAYER We bring to you, Christ, members and friends of Emmanuel who need your healing touch. (Names from our congregation ) Into your loving hands, gracious God, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in your abundant mercy, through Jesus Christ our risen Savior. Amen. Congregational refrain: Hear Our Prayer PEACE The presiding minister and the assembly greet each other in the peace of the risen Christ. The peace of Christ be with you always. And also with you. The people may greet one another with a sign of Christ's peace, and may say, "Peace be with you," or similar words. 8
