Day of Pentecost
Announcements
Invocation
Scripture: Acts 2:1-21
1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
2 And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them.
4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
5 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem.
6 And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each.
7 Amazed and astonished, they asked, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
8 And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?
9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God's deeds of power."
12 All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?"
13 But others sneered and said, "They are filled with new wine."
14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, "Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say.
15 Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning.
16 No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 "In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist.
20 The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord's great and glorious day.
21 Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'

“Search me O’ God”
Hymn #516 v. 1 & 3
Search me, O God,
and know my heart today.
Try me, O Savior;
know my thoughts, I pray.
See if there be
some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from ev’ry sin,
and set me free.
Lord, take my life
and make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart
with Thy great love divine.
Take all my will,
my passion, self, and pride.
I now surrender;
Lord, I humbly plead.
Hear the good news,
Christ died for us
while we were still sinners,
which proves God’s love for us. In the name of Jesus Christ,
You Are forgiven
In the name of Jesus Christ, You Are forgiven
Glory to God, Amen.

Pastoral Prayer
Scripture: John 16:5-15
5 But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, "Where are you going?'
6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:
9 about sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer;
11 about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
12 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
14 He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
15 All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
“Holy Spirit Thou Art Welcome”

“The Comforter has Come”
Hymn #291
O spread the tidings ‘round,
wherever man is found.
Wherever human hearts
and human woes abound.
Let ev-’ry Christian tongue
proclaim the joyful sound:
The Comforter has come!
The Comforter has come!
The Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost of heav’n,
the Father’s promise giv’n!
O spread the tidings ‘round,
wherever man is found:
The Comforter has come!
The long, long night is past;
the morning breaks at last;
And hushed the dreadful wail
and fury of the blast,
As o’er the golden hills
The day advances fast!
The Comforter has come!
The Comforter has come!
The Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost of heav’n,
the Father’s promise giv’n!
O spread the tidings ‘round,
wherever man is found:
The Comforter has come!
Lo, the great King of kings,
with healing in His wings,
To ev’ry captive soul
a full deliv’rance brings;
And thro’ the vacant cells
The song of triumph rings:
The Comforter has come!
The Comforter has come!
The Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost of heav’n,
the Father’s promise giv’n!
O spread the tidings ‘round,
wherever man is found:
The Comforter has come!
O boundless love devine!
How shall this tongue of mine
To won-d’ring mortals tell
the matchless grace divine-
That I, a child of hell,
should in His image shine!
The Comforter has come!
The Comforter has come!
The Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost of heav’n,
the Father’s promise giv’n!
O spread the tidings ‘round,
wherever man is found:
The Comforter has come!
“Spirit of the Living God”
Hymn #297
Spirit of the living God,
fall fresh on me.
Spirit of the living God,
fall fresh on me.
Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me.
Spirit of the living God,
fall fresh on me.
Scripture: Romans 8:22-27
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now;
23 and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen?
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.
27 And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God

Communion
The Communion Supper, instituted by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is a sacrament, which proclaims His life, His sufferings, His sacrificial death and resurrection, and the hope of His coming again. It shows forth the Lord’s death until His return. The Supper is a means of grace in which Christ is present by the Spirit. It is to be received in reverent appreciation and gratefulness for the work of Christ. All those who are truly repentant, forsaking their sins, and believing in Christ for salvation are invited to participate in the death and resurrection of Christ. We come to the table that we may be renewed in life and salvation and be made one by the Spirit.
In unity with the Church, we confess our faith:
Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
Holy God, We gather at this, your table, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, who by your Spirit was anointed to preach good news to the poor, proclaim release to the captives, set at liberty those who are oppressed. Christ healed the sick, fed the hungry, ate with sinners, and established the new covenant for forgiveness of sins. We live in the hope of His coming again. On the night in which He was betrayed, He took bread, gave thanks, broke the bread, gave it to His disciples, and said: “Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. Likewise, when the supper was over, he took the cup, gave thanks, gave it to His disciples, and said: “Drink from this, all of you, this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in remembrance of me.” Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. And so, we gather as the Body of Christ to offer ourselves to you in praise and thanksgiving. Pour out your Holy Spirit on us and on these your gifts. Make them by the power of your Spirit to be for us the body and blood of Christ, that we may be for the world the Body of Christ, redeemed by His blood. By your Spirit make us one in Christ, one with each other, and one in the ministry of Christ to all the world, until Christ comes in final victory. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen. And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, let us pray:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen
