Words of Welcome The Peace

The peace of the risen Christ be with you. And also with you.

Call to Worship Come, Holy Spirit!

Come, Holy Spirit!

Move, swirl, and dance among us. Remind us that you are always present: encouraging, wooing, and inspiring us to be the loving people you created us to be.

Come, Holy Spirit!

Ignite our tongues with your language of wonder, so we may scatter the gospel of grace to all around us.

Come, Holy Spirit!

Rattle the windows of our souls and burst through the closed doors of our hearts. Dance with us in the fire of renewal that we might kindle the world with your love and justice, renewing the face of the earth.

Come, Holy Spirit, Come! adapted from Tim Graves and Thom Shuman Hymn

We give thanks for those times when we have lived by your love, your Spirit in us…. {Silence…} Spirit of God, you breathe your love in us.

We confess those times when we have lived by fear or selfishness, not by your Spirit, and we open ourselves to your grace… {Silence…} We breathe in your grace.. and we breathe out your grace. Thanks be to you, God of our breath. silence for prayer

Words of Assurance As we breathe in God's love, as we breathe out God's love, we are awakened, refreshed, renewed and made whole. {Silence...} In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.

To Respond in Faith Prayers of the People The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come; your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

For yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
