Introduction
On Pentecost, we celebrate that we have been given an Advocate to accompany us. Poured out in wind and fire, water, wine, and bread, the Holy Spirit abides in and among us. We give thanks that God speaks to each of us, no matter our origins, language, or life path. Filled with the Spirit of truth, we go out from worship to proclaim the saving power of Christ’s love and the freedom of God’s grace with all the world.
Prayer of the Day
Scripture
Acts 2:1-21 Filled with the Spirit to tell God’s deeds
Before Jesus ascended into heaven, he told his disciples they would be filled with the Holy Spirit. Now, amid signs of fire, wind, and a variety of languages, the people were amazed and astonished at Jesus’ promise coming true.
Psalm 104:24-34, 35b Send forth your Spirit and renew the face of the earth. (Ps. 104:30)
Romans 8:14-17 The Spirit makes us children of God
Here Paul speaks about the mystery of baptism: through the Holy Spirit we are claimed, gathered, and welcomed into Christ’s body, the church. And we receive a new name in our adoption: child of God.
John 14:8-17, 25-27 The Father will give you another Advocate, the Spirit of truth
Though the disciples struggle with Jesus’ nature and identity, they receive the promise that they too will be identified with God and God’s mission. Though he must leave them now, Jesus promises the coming of the Advocate whom God will send to comfort and enlighten them.
Fellowship Time
You are invited to stay after worship for refreshments and fellowship time in the gathering space.
Theme Write-up

**Led by the Holy Spirit, Our Faith Is Renewed**
In the season of Pentecost, we remember how the Holy Spirit descended upon the early church with power and purpose, breathing new life into followers of Christ. This divine presence continues to move among us today, igniting hearts, inspiring witness, and deepening faith. As we enter the first part of this season, we are reminded that the Spirit is not a distant force but an active guide—calling, shaping, and empowering us in our daily walk with God. The Spirit leads us beyond comfort and routine into a vibrant, living faith that is continually made new through grace.
Being led by the Holy Spirit means learning to listen, trust, and respond with openness. As we gather in worship, we open ourselves to transformation—to be renewed in courage, hope, and love. Through scripture, song, and sacrament, we experience the Spirit stirring within us, reconnecting us to God’s promises and equipping us to serve with compassion in the world. In this Pentecost season, may we welcome the Spirit’s renewing presence and follow where it leads, confident that God is at work in and through us.
