*Unison Prayer
Gracious God, Living, Eternal Spirit, we thank you that you seek us in tender loving care, lest
any be lost. Help us, in the same way, to reach out toward those who may feel alienated or
excluded from the Christian community. Send your Spirit upon us that when we speak the
word of your love, people may hear and understand in their own language, as on that
Pentecost day so long ago; for we pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

*Commitment Hymn  "Holy Spirit Truth Divine"    UMH #465
Holy Spirit, Truth divine, dawn up on this soul of mine;
Word of God and inward light, wake my spirit, clear my sight.

Holy Spirit, Love divine, glow within this heart of mine;
kindle every high desire; perish self in thy pure fire.

Holy Spirit, Power divine, fill and nerve this will of mine;
Grant that I may strongly live, bravely bear, and nobly strive.

Holy Spirit, Right divine, King within my conscience reign;
Be my Lord and I shall be firmly bound, forever free.

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.

Thank you for Worshiping with us today!
