*CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Lord, your
Spirit hovered on the waters as you made the earth.
People: Your Spirit breathed
life into human beings.
Leader: The Spirit
inspired prophets to speak out against injustice;
People: It sang
praises and laments with the psalmist.
Leader: When Jesus
was baptized, we knew him through the descent of the Spirit.
People: When flames
danced among the disciples, the church came into being.
Leader: Your Spirit
guided the journeys of Peter and Paul;
People: It moves
among us today, molding us into one body out of many.
Leader: Let us
praise the work of the Holy Spirit!
*HYMN OF PRAISE #61
“Come,
Thou Almighty King”
UNISON PRAYER
Living God, your Spirit flamed in
your church at its founding; spark among us today. Even as the bush that Moses
gazed upon burned and was not consumed, burn in our hearts. Make us your fuel. Use us for your work. Unite us in the bonds
of community, that we may be the church today for others, and not only for
ourselves. May the communion we know in
you inspire us to be as faithful as the saints of the early church. In Jesus’
name we pray. Amen.
