            “As We Gather at Your Table”   Tune: Holy Manna

 

UNISON PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Spirit of God, you come to us as a powerful wind —But we have shut the door and bolted it, to try to keep you out. You descend on us as tongues of fire —But we run away, afraid of being consumed. You give us gifts beyond our ability —But we squander them, We hide them, We say, “Not today.” or “How can one person make a difference?”  or “No, Lord, not me.” On this day of Pentecost, forgive our feebleness. Break open the doors of resistance. Let the fire of your Spirit dance within each of us. And give us courage and faith to claim your call for our lives. In Jesus’ name.  Amen.
