Leader: On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples of Jesus with
power and might.
People: On that first Pentecost, the Holy Spirit inspired the disciples to form a new
community made up of people from all nations of the earth.
Leader: The Spirit of God gave them the power to speak in foreign tongues so that all
people might hear the good news about Jesus in their own language.
People: After God raised Jesus from the dead, the Spirit called the church into
existence so that the ministry of Jesus could continue among us.
Leader: Just as Jesus fed the hungry, healed the sick, and spoke words of salvation, so
too the church is called to follow his example.
People: May God’s Spirit inspire us to be Jesus’ disciples even now, feeding the
hungry, healing the sick, and speaking words of salvation to all. Amen.
*Opening Hymn of Gathering: “I Come With Joy” ​​​UMH #617

*Congregational Prayer (in unison):
O God, as you once sent your Holy Spirit upon the disciples of Jesus, so now send your Spirit to dwell among us. May your Spirit be as the wind that blows upon us, the fire that burns within us, and the rain that refreshes us. Consecrate our hearts so that we may always be ready to do what is good and right and just in your world. Inspire us so that we may always follow your call. Mold us in your image so that we may be Christ’s witnesses in both word and deed. Amen.
