Our Guest Speaker, Dr. Steve Bolton, will bring the message, "The Wonders of Pentecost!". Our Scripture passage comes from Ephesians 1:15-23 and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 107. We look forward to joining you in this time of Worship.


Call to Worship (from Psalm 107)
Leader: O Lord, how manifold are your works!
People: The earth is full of your creatures.
Leader: These all look to you
People: To give them their food in due season;
Leader: When you give to them, they gather it up;
People: When you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
Leader: When you hide your face,
People: They are dismayed;
Leader: When you take away their breath,
People: They die and return to their dust.
Leader: When you send forth your spirit, they are created;
People: And you renew the face of the ground.
Leader: May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
People: May the Lord rejoice in his works—
Leader: Who looks on the earth and it trembles,
People: Who touches the mountains and they smoke.
Leader: I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
People: I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
Leader: May my meditation be pleasing to him,
People: For I rejoice in the Lord.

Questions for Further Reflection:
Pentecost has been called The Birthday of the Church - God's Holy Spirit infusing Christ's followers with His presence and power.
What signs and wonders of God's Holy Spirit have you noted in your own spiritual journey?
List and give thanks for those moments you became convicted, convinced, converted, or perhaps when you especially felt led, reassured, encouraged, or empowered by God's Spirit.
