HYMN “Spirit, Spirit of Gentleness” Hymnal #291
Refrain: Spirit, spirit of gentleness, blow through the wildeness, calling and free. Spirit, spirit of restlessness, stir me from placidness, wind, wind on the sea.
Vs. 1 You moved on the waters: you called to the deep: then you coaxed up the mountains from the valleys of sleep: and over the eons you called to each thing, Awake from your slumbers and rise on your wings.
Vs. 4 You call from tomorrow: you break ancient schemes: from the bondage of sorrow the captives dream dreams. Our women see visions: our men clear their eyes. With bold new decisions your people arise.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION God of new creation, we confess that we have failed to trust your bountiful goodness. By the power of the Holy Spirit you brought forth the earth and its creatures in abundance. Yet, we hoard earth’s resources and refuse to share your gifts. We dishonor your generosity by withholding our charity to those in need. We betray your kindness by dealing harshly with our enemies. We disregard your compassion by severely judging the sins of others. Forgive us. By the power of your Spirit renew our hearts and free us from sins that we may enjoy the fullness of your blessing upon all creation. Amen. (Silent Confession)
ASSURANCE OF GRACE
SHARING THE PEACE OF CHRIST The peace of Christ be with you.

SCRIPTURE Acts 2: 1-38
SERMON “Get Ready” Rev. MP Panco
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic** church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
