Pentecost

The Sunday of Pentecost is a special day in the church!  Consider Pentecost our birthday.  From Acts 2:1-21, we hear that the disciples were gathered in Jerusalem, there was a great rush of the wind, a shaking of the ground and out of the commotion came the Holy Spirit that moved through them and all who had gathered, giving them ears to hear and eyes to see each other and the glory of God's presence. 

Spirit of the Living God, draw us together into the place where your Spirit awaits us. Guide us in your direction so that as we gather, we experience the unity that comes from shared hope and mutual understanding. Fill us with more questions than answers and open our minds to visions and dreams of a world transformed in your love and peace and infused with your hope and joy. For your name and glory, we pray for new life in you. Amen.
