Call to Worship
from Psalm 104
Pastor: O LORD, how manifold are your works! In your wisdom you have made them all.
People: These all look to you to give them food in due season.
Pastor: When you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
All: When you send forth your spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the
ground.
* Hymn of Praise 289
“On Pentecost They Gathered”
* Prayer of Confession
Ever-living God, you poured your spirit upon gathered disciples, creating bold speech, open
ears, and a new community of faith. We confess that we try to hold back the force of your
Spirit among us. We do not listen for your word of grace, speak the good news of your
redeeming love, or live as people made one in Christ. Have mercy on us, O God. Transform
our desiccated lives by the power of your Spirit and fill us with the desire to be your faithful
people, doing your will for the sake and in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
* Assurance of Pardon
* Response of Joy (Hymn 582)
