Call to Worship
Like a mighty rushing wind, the Spirit entered the house—
And the world was never the same.
Like tongues of fire, the Spirit rested on each one—
Igniting hearts with courage and voices with praise.
The Spirit spoke in every language—
So that all might hear the good news of God’s love.
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
Set our hearts ablaze with your justice, peace, and joy!

Joys, Concerns, and Prayers of the People with the Lord’s Prayer
Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on us.
Eternal Spirit, Breath of Life,
Source of Love and Liberator of all:
Holy is your name.
May your dream of justice and joy
Come to birth in every land.
Let heaven’s fire burn bright on earth.
Give us today the bread we need,
And forgive us as we forgive others.
Lead us not into fear or silence,
But fill us with courage to resist evil.
For yours is the wind that stirs,
The flame that purifies,
And the glory that outlasts time.
Amen.
