*CONFESSION OF SIN (in unison) God of all hope and joy, we confess that we continue to live in fear. You send your Word to enliven us, yet we remain dry bones. You send your Spirit to empower us, yet we fail to dream new dreams. Forgive us, God of grace. Lead us according to your way, guide us into your truth, and deliver us from death to life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. *ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS and EXCHANGE OF PEACE *RESPONSE TO GOD’S GRACE 286 (vs 3,4 for all to sing)

THE LORD’S PRAYER (in unison) Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Holy Spirit, Light Divine
Holy Spirit, Light divine, Shine upon this heart of mine; Chase the shades of night away, Turn my darkness into day. Holy Spirit, Power divine, Cleanse this guilty heart of mine; Long has sin without control held dominion over my soul. Holy Spirit, Joy divine, Cheer this saddened heart of mine; Bid my many woes depart, heal my wounded, bleeding heart. Holy Spirit, all divine, Dwell within this heart of mine;
John Carter
Cast down every idol throne, Reign supreme, and reign alone. Spirit of the living God, Fall afresh on me, Melt me, mold me, fill me use me. Spirit of the living God, Fall afresh on me, Holy Spirit, fall on me.

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (in unison) from a Brief Statement of Faith We trust in God the Holy Spirit,everywhere the giver and renewer of life. The Spirit justifies us by grace through faith, sets us free to accept ourselves and to love God and neighbor, and binds us together with all believers in the one body of Christ, the Church. The same Spirit who inspired the prophets and apostles rules our faith and life in Christ through Scripture, engages us through the Word proclaimed, claims us in the waters of baptism, feeds us with the bread of life and the cup of salvation, and calls women and men to all ministries of the church. In a broken and fearful world the Spirit gives us courage to pray without ceasing, to witness among all peoples to Christ as Lord and Savior, to unmask idolatries in Church and culture, to hear the voices of peoples long silenced, and to work with others for justice, freedom, and peace. In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit,we strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks and to live holy and joyful lives, even as we watch for God’s new heaven and new earth, praying, “Come, Lord Jesus!” *HYMN 66 Every Time I Feel the Spirit PENTECOST (Children enter) *BENEDICTION and RESPONSE (for all to sing) We are one in the Spirit; we are one in the Lord; We are one in the Spirit; we are one in the Lord; And we pray that all unity may one day be restored: And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love; Yes, they’ll know we are Christians by our love.
