Prelude  

Welcome & Announcements 

Call to Worship
L: And in the last days it shall come to pass, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh.

P: And your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old shall dream dreams, and your young shall see visions.

L: When the Day of Pentecost had come, they were all gathered together in one place,

P: And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

L: And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each of them.

P: And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.

Opening Prayer God of grace, You sent the promised gift of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the women, upon Mary the mother of Jesus and upon his brothers. Fill Your church with power, kindle flaming hearts within us, and cause us to proclaim Your mighty works in every tongue, that all may call on You and be saved; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!
