Call to Worship

Come, from every corner of the earth,
from every time and place,
from south and north,
from east and west,
gather, … gather…
gather… gather…
For the spirit of God is being poured out upon us
even now,
in this place,
upon the young and the old,
the women and the men,
slaves and free,
upon each of us here.
Come, let us worship God.

Invocation

Come, Holy Spirit. Come, Holy Spirit.
Come, Holy Spirit. Come, Holy Spirit.
Maranatha! Maranatha!
Come, Lord, come! Come, Lord, come!
(repeat as directed)

Words and music John L Bell

Opening Prayer

Hymn:
VU 333 Love Divine, All Love Excelling

Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heaven to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling,
all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation,
enter every trembling heart.

Come, almighty to deliver;
let us all thy grace receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.

Finish, then, thy new creation;
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee,
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Words: Charles Wesley; Music: Rowland Huw Prichard

Collect

Send your Spirit, O God, for the birthing and re-birthing of our faith. Send your Spirit, O God, that we may hear and speak and live anew. Send your Spirit, O God, for the renewal of your blessed creation. Send your Spirit, O God, to gather us –
and then send your Spirit, O God, to send us forth in mission. Amen.

Readings

Hutłilala's! Listen deeply as scripture is read and the word proclaimed.

Hebrew Scripture Genesis 11: 1-9

Psalm 104: 25-37 VU 827 PART 2

Refrain 1: Bless, O my soul, the Almighty, who rules all creation.
O God, how manifold are your works!
With Wisdom at your side you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
R1: Bless, O my soul, the Almighty, who rules all creation.

There lies the great and mighty Sea, teeming with living things both great and small.
Upon it sails the ships, and there is Leviathan, the monster you made to play in it.
All these look to you, to give them their food in due season.
What you give them they gather up. When you open your hand, you fill them with good things.
But when you hide your face they despair. When you take away their breath, they die, and return to dust.
But when you send out your spirit, they live again, and you renew the face of the earth.
R1: Bless, O my soul, the Almighty, who rules all creation.

May your glory, O God, endure forever.
May you rejoice, O God, in your works.
When you look at the earth it trembles,
When you touch the mountains they smoke.
I will sing to God as long as I live.
I will praise my God while I have being.
R1: Bless, O my soul, the Almighty, who rules all creation.

Words and music: Stralsund Gesangbuch.

Acts of the Apostles Acts 2:1-21

Hymn:
Common Praise 408 Wind Upon the Waters

Wind upon the waters,
voice upon the deep,
rouse your sons and daughters,
wake us from our sleep,
breathing life into all flesh,
breathing love into all hearts,
living wind upon the waters of my soul.

Showers from the heaven,
water from the earth,
gift so wholly given,
source of every birth,
joy of every living thing,
making all creation sing,
shower down upon the dry earth of my soul.

Rock and hill and garden,
wood and desert sand, prairie,
field and meadow,
shaped by Love's own hand.
Love that fills the world around,
springing up from barren ground,
grow your love within the garden of my soul.

Blazing light of wonder,
flame that pierces night,
burst the dark asunder,
fill our souls with light.
Lord of glory, fill the skies,
make an end to hatred's cries,
be the blazing sun of justice in our lives.

Wind upon the waters,
rains upon the sand,
grace your sons and daughters,
newborn by your hand.
Come, O Spirit, and renew
all the life that comes from you,
send your winds upon the waters of my soul.

Text and music: Marty Haugen

God be with you.
And also with you.

The Gospel: John 14: 8-17, 25-27

Sermon / Reflection

Prayers of the People

In our Shared Ministry Church Cycles of prayer....
We pray for all in authority...

...By your Spirit, O God; in your Spirit, O God; through your Spirit, O God, may we walk beside all that needs to be transformed and, in Spirit, become the change the world needs.
Hear us; live in us; call us. Amen

Peace

May the peace and love of Christ be with you always!
And also with you!

Offertory Hymn:
VU 375 Spirit, Spirit of Gentleness

Spirit, Spirit of gentleness,
blow through the wilderness, calling and free,
Spirit, Spirit of restlessness, stir me from placidness,
Wind, Wind on the sea.

You moved on the waters, you called to the deep,
then you coaxed up the mountains from the valleys of sleep;
and over the eons you called to each thing:
wake from your slumbers and rise on your wings.

Spirit, Spirit of gentleness,
blow through the wilderness, calling and free,
Spirit, Spirit of restlessness, stir me from placidness,
Wind, Wind on the sea.

You swept thro’ the desert, you stung with the sand,
and you goaded your people with a law and a land;
and when they were blinded with their idols and lies,
then you spoke thro’ your prophets to open their eyes.

Spirit, Spirit of gentleness,
blow through the wilderness, calling and free,
Spirit, Spirit of restlessness, stir me from placidness,
Wind, Wind on the sea.

You sang in a stable, you cried from a hill,
Then you whispered in silence when the whole world was still,
and down in the city you called once again,
when you blew thro’ your people on the rush of the wind.

Spirit, Spirit of gentleness,
blow through the wilderness, calling and free,
Spirit, Spirit of restlessness, stir me from placidness,
Wind, Wind on the sea.

You call from tomorrow, you break ancient schemes,
from the bondage of sorrow the captives dream dreams,
our women see visions, our men clear their eyes,
with bold new decisions your people arise.

Spirit, Spirit of gentleness,
blow through the wilderness, calling and free,
Spirit, Spirit of restlessness, stir me from placidness,
Wind, Wind on the sea.

Words and music: James K Manley.

Response: VU 540 Grant Us God the Grace

Grant us, God, the grace of giving,
with a spirit large and free,
that ourselves and all our living
we may offer faithfully.

Words: anonymous; Music: attributed Christian F. Witt, P; adaptation Henry John Gauntlett,

Prayer over the Gifts

The breath that fills ...
...The stuff that makes things happen is the energy of God – the Spirit, moving across the church,
and we will be part of it. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer
(Multi language presentation)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Hymn:
VU 380 She Comes Sailing on the Wind

She comes sailing on the wind, her wings flashing in the sun;
on a journey just begun, she flies on.
And in the passage of her flight, her song rings out through the night,
full of laughter, full of light, she flies on.

Silent waters rocking on the morning of our birth,
like an empty cradle waiting to be filled.
And from the heart of God the spirit moved upon the earth,
like a mother breathing life into her child.

Many were the dreamers whose eyes were given sight
when the Spirit filled their dreams with life and form.
Deserts turned to gardens, broken hearts found new delight,
and then down the ages still she flew on.

She comes sailing on the wind, her wings flashing in the sun;
on a journey just begun, she flies on.
And in the passage of her flight, her song rings out through the night,
full of laughter, full of light, she flies on.

To a gentle girl in Galilee, a gentle breeze she came,
a whisper softly calling in the dark,
the promise of a child of peace whose reign would never end,
Mary sang the Spirit song within her heart.

Flying to the river, she waited circling high
above the child now grown so full of grace.
As he rose up from the water, she swept down from the sky,
and she carried him away in her embrace.

She comes sailing on the wind, her wings flashing in the sun;
on a journey just begun, she flies on.
And in the passage of her flight, her song rings out through the night,
full of laughter, full of light, she flies on.

Long after the deep darkness that fell upon the world,
after dawn returned in flame of rising sun,
the Spirit touched the earth again, again her wings unfurled,
bringing life in wind and fire she flew on.

She comes sailing on the wind, her wings flashing in the sun;
on a journey just begun, she flies on.
And in the passage of her flight, her song rings out through the night,
full of laughter, full of light, she flies on.

Words and Music: Gordon Light.

Blessing

Thanks be to God! Gilakas’la! Alleluia! Amen!

Threefold Amen
