On Pentecost They Gathered (VU 195, verses 1 & 4) On Pentecost they gathered quite early in the day, A band of Christ’s disciples, to worship, sing, and pray. A mighty wind came blowing, filled all the swirling air, And tongues of fire a-glowing inspired each person there. The people all around them were startled and amazed To understand their language, as Christ the Lord they praised. What universal message, what great good news was here? The Christ, once dead is risen to vanquish all our fear.

Call to Worship (From Celebrate God's Presence, p.202, modifications made by Sarah Wicks-Potter The risen Christ be with you. And also with you. Let us pray: Spirit of the living God, visit us again this day of Pentecost. Come, Holy Spirit, come. On rushing winds that sweep away all barriers, Come, Holy Spirit, come. With tongues of figure that set our hearts aflame, Come, Holy Spirit, come. With speech that unites the babel of our tongues, Come, Holy Spirit, come.

God of the Bible (MV 28) God of the Bible, God in the Gospel, Hope seen in Jesus, Hope yet to come. You are our centre, Daylight r darkness, Freedom or prison, you are our home.

Fire of God, Undying Flame (VU 209) Fire of God, undying Flame, Spirit who in splendor came, Let your heat my soul refine, Till it glows with love divine. Breath of God, That swept in power In the Pentecostal hour, Holy Breath, be now in me source of vital energy.

Strength of God, your might within Conquers sorrow, pain and sin. Fortify from evil's art All the gateways o f my heart.

Truth of God, your piercing rays Penetrate my secret ways. May the light that shames my sin Guide me holier paths to win. Love of God, your grace profound Knows not either age or bound. Come, my heart's own guest to be; Dwell forevermore in me.
