INTROIT

*CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 104: 24-31

O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all;

the earth is full of your creatures.

Yonder is the sea, great and wide, creeping things innumerable are there, living things both small and great. There go the ships, and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it.

These all look to you to give them their food in due

season;

when you give to them, they gather it up;

when you open your hand, they are filled with good

things.

When you hide your face, they are dismayed;

when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground.

May the glory of the LORD endure forever;

*HYMN 2117: "Spirit of God"

INVOCATION Followed by the Lord’s Prayer

RESPONSIVE CALL TO PRAYER:

We have been born of flesh…

And air.

Air without flesh is just wind…

and flesh without breath is dead…

So all humanity has them both…

Flesh and air.

Yet, some within humanity have something more…

A different kind of air… a kind of second wind.

It is the breath of God's Spirit…

A divine wind.

This breath of God may be everywhere… accessible to everyone…

It may be that some people just hold their breath, and refuse to inhale God's breath.

But those who inhale the fresh air of God are revived… reborn into the life, which is eternal.

Spirit, Now live in me. Amen.

*HYMN 240: "Spirit, Now Live in Me"

SCRIPTURE: Acts 2: 1-21 pg. 948

SERMON: "In Our Own Native Language"

*INVITATION HYMN 2049: "God Is Here Today"

Decisions of faith are personal decisions. It is for us to choose if we will believe in God. Decisions of faith are also public and corporate decisions. When we choose to follow Jesus we are choosing to become part of the “Body of Christ”, the Church. If you would like to confirm the decision you have made to begin your life of faith or continue that life as a part of this congregation, come forward as we sing the invitational hymn and speak with the worship leader about your decision.
