HYMN #289 “On Pentecost They Gathered”

CONFESSION OF SIN (Unison) Rev. Jane Anabe

Spirit of the Living God, we rejoice in the gifts you have given us. Yet, we confess, we do not always use them for your purposes. We have used the gifts of your Spirit to glorify ourselves rather than you. We have failed to trust the power of your Spirit, and we have failed to use it to serve others in need. In so doing, we have failed to be your faithful witnesses. Forgive us, Lord. Melt us, mold us, and fill us once again with your power so that we might glorify you by witnessing to your good news. This we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. (Continue in silent confession)

ASSURANCE OF PARDON Rev. Anabe

L: God brings us new life when our bones are dry, and hope when we are hopeless. God washes us in mercy and ignites us with the Spirit. By the grace of God through Jesus Christ, we are forgiven and set free!

P: Thanks be to God! +*RESPONSE TO PARDON, #288

Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me. Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me. Melt me; mold me; fill me; use me. Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.

PASSING THE PEACE Rev. Anabe

L: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. P: And also with you!
