Opening Prayer Spirit of Pentecost, blow open the doors of our shut up hearts.Set our tongues free to proclaim your praise. Bless our youth with visions, and our elders with dreams.Bestow our children with gifts of prophecy, and renew the faith of your people throughout the world.Blow into our lives, once more, Holy One, and help us find the strength and courage to become the people you call us to be. Amen.

Hymn UMH #114 “Many Gifts, One Spirit”

Prayer of Illumination Holy God, Word made flesh, let us come to this word open to being surprised. Silence our agendas; banish our assumptions; cast out our casual detachment. Confound our expectations; clear the cobwebs from our ears; penetrate the corners of our hearts with this word. We know that you can, we pray that you will, and we wait with great anticipation. Amen.

Hymn UMH #318 “Surely the Presence of the Lord”

Benediction

With rushing wind and holy fire, go forth in the power of the living God.We go forth as God’s children.With tongues of flame and hope rekindled, go forth in the power of the eternal Christ.We go forth as heirs with Christ.With visions birthed and dreams restored, go forth in the power of the Holy Spirit.We go forth as new creations in God’s Spirit.With spacious grace and depth untold, go forth in the mystery of the Holy One.
