*Call to Worship
Pentecost Chorus “Sweet, Sweet Spirit” UMH #334
There's a sweet, sweet Spirit in this place,
And I know that it's the Spirit of the Lord;
There are sweet expressions on each face,
And I know they feel the presence of the Lord.

Sweet Holy Spirit, Sweet heavenly Dove,
Stay right here with us, filling us with Your love.
And for these blessings we lift our hearts in praise;
Without a doubt we'll know that we have been revived,
When we shall leave this place.

Responsive Reading from Psalm 104
Leader: Many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full  of your creatures.
People: May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works.
Leader: I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
People: May my meditation be pleasing to him as I rejoice in the Lord.
All: Praise the Lord, my soul. Praise the Lord!

Unison Invocation
God of grace, you sent the promised gift of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the women,
upon Mary the mother of Jesus and upon his brothers. Fill your church with power, kindle flaming hearts within us, and cause us to proclaim your mighty works in every tongue, that all may call on you and be saved; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

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

Offering (Bible presentation)

Offertory “My Jesus I love Thee” By Adoniram Gordon, arranged by Larry Shackley

Message “Let Me Show You” John 13: 1-17

The Communion Service
The Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven,
is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Communion Song “Santo, Santo, Santo” TFWS #2007
Holy, holy, holy,
my heart, my heart adores you!
My heart knows how to say to you;
You are holy, Lord!
​
Santo, santo, santo, 
mi corazon te adora!
Mi corazon te sabe decir;
Santo entres, Dios!

Prayer of Confession and Pardon
Gracious God, our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo. 
Forgive what our lips tremble to name, and what our hearts can no longer bear.
Through the cross, set us free from a past that we cannot change.
Through the resurrection, open to us a future in which we can be changed.
Grant us grace to grow more and more in your likeness and image,
through Jesus Christ, the light of the world. Amen.

Hear the good news;
Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. That proves God’s love for us.
In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.
In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.
Thanks be to God!

Bread and Cup
The Lord be with you
And also with you.
Let us give thanks using the words Jesus gave us:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be they name.
Thy kingdom come, they will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. AMEN.

Sending Hymn “The Trees of the Field” TFWS #2279
You shall go out with joy
And be led forth with peace
The mountains and the hills
Will break forth before you
There'll be shouts of joy
And all the trees of the field
Will clap, will clap their hands

And all the trees of the field
Will clap their hands
The trees of the field
Will clap their hands
The trees of the field
Will clap their hands
While you go out with joy

Unison Benediction*
May the peace of the Lord Jesus go with you
wherever he may send you.
May he guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May he bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders he has shown you.
May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.
 *from Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals
