Pentecost Resources

Call to Worship (based on Psalm 104)

L: O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
P: Yonder is the sea, great and wide, creeping things innumerable are there, living things both small and great.
L: When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground.
P: May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works
L: Bless the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD!

Pentecost Prayer:

Almighty God, we your children pray: let your glory come down.
   Let the Fire fall on us gathered here as on that first Day of Pentecost.
Revive our spirits, fill us with new excitement, with joy unspeakable
   And compassion for a dying world.
Empower us to speak your Word; to utter your words of Life;
   Using a variety of languages to bring the good news to the poor.
Lord, let your fire fall once again on this church, on this community,
   On this country, and on all the families of the earth.
In Jesus name and in the power of your Holy Spirit. Amen.
