SINGING OUR PRAISE
I am the church! You are the church!
We are the church together!
All who follow Jesus, all around the world!
Yes, we’re the church together!
The church is not a building;
The church is not a steeple;
The church is not a resting place;
The church is a people.
I am the church! You are the church!
We are the church together!
All who follow Jesus, all around the world!
Yes, we’re the church together!
We’re many kinds of people,
With many kinds of faces,
All colors and all ages too
From all times and places.
I am the church! You are the church!
We are the church together!
All who follow Jesus, all around the world!
Yes, we’re the church together!
At Pentecost some people
Received the Holy Spirit
And told the Good News through the world
To all who would hear it.
I am the church! You are the church!
We are the church together!
All who follow Jesus, all around the world!
Yes, we’re the church together!
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker 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 to heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father. From there, He will come 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!
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
w/ THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven: Holy is Your name; Your Kingdom come; Your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us away from the time of trial and deliver us from evil for the Kingdom, the power, and the glory are Yours, now and forever. Amen!
SINGING OUR PRAISE
Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart
Spirit of God, Descend upon my heart
Wean it from sin, through all its pulses move.
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as You are,
And make me love You as I ought to love.
I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
No sudden rending of the veil of clay,
No angel visitant, no opening skies;
But take the dimness of my soul away.
Teach me to love You as Your angels love,
One holy passion filling all my frame:
The fullness of the heaven-descended Dove;
My heart and altar, and Your love the flame.
SCRIPTURE
Acts 2 (various)
When the Feast of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Without warning there was a sound like a strong wind, gale force — no one could tell where it came from. It filled the whole building. Then, like a wildfire, the Holy Spirit spread through their ranks, and they started speaking in a number of different languages as the Spirit prompted them.
There were many Jews staying in Jerusalem just then, devout pilgrims from all over the world. When they heard the sound, they came on the run. Then when they heard, one after another, their own mother tongues being spoken, they were thunderstruck. They couldn’t for the life of them figure out what was going on, and kept saying, “Aren’t these all Galileans? How come we’re hearing them talk in our various mother tongues?
14-21 That’s when Peter stood up and, backed by the other eleven, spoke out with bold urgency: “Fellow Jews, all of you who are visiting Jerusalem, listen carefully and get this story straight. These people aren’t drunk as some of you suspect. They haven’t had time to get drunk—it’s only nine o’clock in the morning. This is what the prophet Joel announced would happen: “In the Last Days,” God says, “I will pour out my Spirit on every kind of people:

SINGING OUR PRAISE
Victory in Jesus
I heard an old, old story
How a Savior came from glory
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me.
I heard about His groaning,
Of His precious blood’s atoning,
Then, I repented of my sins
And won the victory!
O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood
He loved me e’re I knew Him
And all my love is due Him.
He plunged me to victory
Beneath the crimson flood.
I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory
And I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea,
About the angel’s singing
And the old redemption story
And some, sweet day I’ll sing up there
The song of victory.
O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood
He loved me e’re I knew Him
And all my love is due Him.
He plunged me to victory
Beneath the crimson flood.
