*CALL TO WORSHIP

Liturgist: And in the last days it shall come to pass, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh. People: And your sons and your daughters shall prophecy, your old shall dream dreams, and your young shall see visions. Liturgist: When the Day of Pentecost had come, they were all gathered together in one place. People: And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled the house where they were sitting. Liturgist: And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each of them. ALL: And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. (THE BOOK OF WORSHIP 1965, ALT.)

OPENING PRAYER

Send forth your Spirit, O God, and renew the face of the earth. Dwell among us, even though your presence will startle and unsettle us. Grant us your peace, we pray, as justice and love pour down upon the yearning earth. Amen.
