*Hymn“O Spirit of the Living God”Words: Henry Tweedy/Trad. English MelodyO Spirit of the living God, Thou light and fire divine,descend upon Thy church once more, and make it truly Thine.Fill it with love and joy and power, with righteousness and peace;till Christ shall dwell in human hearts, and sin and sorrow cease.Blow, wind of God! With wisdom blow until our minds are freefrom mists of error, clouds of doubt, which blind our eyes to Thee.Burn, winged fire! Inspire our lips with flaming love and zeal,to preach to all Thy great good news, God's glorious will be done.So shall we know the power of Christ who came this world to save.So shall we rise with Him to life which soars beyond the grave;and earth shall win true holiness, which makes Thy children whole;till, perfected by Thee, we reach creation’s glorious goal!*Call to WorshipMegan Sprankle“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in oneplace. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heavenand filled the whole house where they were sitting.
