Children’s Message
First Reading: Acts 2:1–21
A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.”
But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: ‘In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
Reader The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
Psalm 104:25-35, 37
Chanted by the Congregation
O Lord, how manifold are your / works! *
in wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your / creatures.
Yonder is the great and wide sea
with its living things too many to / number, *
creatures both small and / great.
There move the ships,
and there is that Le- / viathan, *
which you have made for the / sport of it.
All of them look to / you *
to give them their food in due / season.
You give it to them; they / gather it; *
you open your hand, and they are filled with good / things.
You hide your face, and they are / terrified; *
you take away their breath,
and they die and return to their / dust.
You send forth your Spirit, and they are cre- / ated; *
and so you renew the face of the / earth.
May the glory of the Lord endure for / ever; *
may the Lord rejoice in all his / works.
He looks at the earth and it / trembles; *
he touches the mountains and they / smoke.
I will sing to the Lord as long as I / live; *
I will praise my God while I have my / being.
May these words of mine / please him; *
I will rejoice in the / Lord.
Bless the Lord, O my / soul. *
Halle- / lujah!
Second Reading: Romans 8:14-17
A Reading from Paul’s letter to the Romans.
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
Reader The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
Sequence Hymn 225 (vv. 1-3)
Hail thee, festival day!
After choral introduction, Congregation sings refrains and Choir sings verses.
Gospel: John 14:8-17, 25-27
Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.
People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Philip said to [Jesus], “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves. Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it.
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you.
“I have said these things to you while I am still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”
Deacon The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.
Hymn 225 (v. 4)
Hail thee, festival day!
The Sermon
The Baptismal Covenant
Do you believe in God the Father?
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the
power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He 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, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of
saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting.
Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers?
I will, with God’s help.
Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord?
I will, with God’s help.
Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ?
I will, with God’s help.
Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself?
I will, with God’s help.
Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?
I will, with God’s help.
The Prayers of the People – A Litany of the Holy Spirit
Charles Anthony Silvestri, 2024
Intercessor: Come, Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Wisdom! You appeared as tongues of fire over the heads of the apostles, and thus sparked the creation of the Church as the living Body of Christ. Indwelling Spirit, may we be the spark that guides others to a oneness with God.
Come, Holy Spirit, and move through us!
Come, Holy Spirit, Dove of Peace! You were present at the baptism of Jesus, calling our attention to the words of the Father saying, “This is my beloved Son.” Bless all those called to be ministers to us.
Come, Holy Spirit, and point the way to the Father through the Son!
Deacon: We pray for Sean, our Presiding Bishop; for Cathleen, our Bishop; for Mother Jenn, our Rector; for our Deacons Deborah, Steve, and Rob; for the members of our Vestry; and for all our other ministers;
We also pray for St. John’s, Wichita, and we pray for the Anglican Church of Melanesia.
Intercessor: Come, Holy Spirit, Revealer, the Spirit of Truth! You helped the crowd understand the message of Christ each in his own tongue. Help the leaders of this nation to use its immense wealth and power only for good.
Come, Holy Spirit, and be our guide!
Come Holy Spirit, the Breath of God—in the Beginning you rushed over the dark waters of chaos to bring the promise of life to all creation. May we care for the natural world—your abundant creation—in the same way: being a promise of life rather than an instrument of death.
Come, Holy Spirit, and inspire us to be better than we have been!
Come, Holy Spirit, God’s hand in the world! Help us to live as God would have us live, and to be for our brothers and sisters what Jesus commanded us to be. Give us a heart for those people in our community who are hurting, especially the unhoused, the poor, the lonely; and let us be a comfort to those who feel they have nowhere left to turn.
Come, Holy Spirit, and make our hands God’s hands!
Deacon: We pray for those with unnamed requests.
Intercessor: Come Holy Spirit, Intercessor, Spirit of Healing! Seven-fold gift of the Father and the Son, bring your peace and healing to those in need, whose names we read aloud and hold in the silence of our hearts.
Come, Holy Spirit, and comfort those in need!
Deacon: We pray for Karsyn, Jeff, Stacey, Linda, Luke, Amy, Sandee, Dennes, Leonora, Tuesday, Vashti, Nancy, Sydney, Alfred, Steven, Ellen, Cindy, Murray, Shelley, Billy, Victoria, Cathy, Clyde, Stephen, Pamela
Intercessor: Come, Holy Spirit, Comforter, the Spirit of Life. Through you we were sealed in baptism and marked as God’s own forever. May those who have gone on before us be counted among the mighty host who even now with you surround the throne of God singing “Hosannah in the highest!”
Come, Holy Spirit, and remind us of the wonders that are to come!
Deacon: We pray for Dennes Frederick; and we pray for all who grieve.
Celebrant: Gracious Lord, hear the prayers of your people, born aloft on the breath of the Holy Spirit. Grant that we might obtain all that we have asked for in faith and more, to the glory of your name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.
Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

“At the Lamb’s High Feast”

Presentation Hymn 516 (vv. 1-2)
Come down, O Love divine
Eucharistic Prayer 3
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
All thanks and praise are yours at all times and in all places, our true and loving God; through Jesus Christ, your eternal Word, the Wisdom from on high by whom you created all things. You laid the foundations of the world and enclosed the sea when it burst out from the womb; You brought forth all creatures of the earth and gave breath to humankind.
Wondrous are you, Holy One of Blessing, all you create is a sign of hope for our journey; And so as the morning stars sing your praises we join the heavenly beings and all creation as we shout with joy:
Sanctus S 129
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
Glory and honor are yours, Creator of all, your Word has never been silent; you called a people to yourself, as a light to the nations, you delivered them from bondage and led them to a land of promise. Of your grace, you gave Jesus to be human, to share our life, to proclaim the coming of your holy reign and give himself for us, a fragrant offering.
Through Jesus Christ our Redeemer, you have freed us from sin, brought us into your life, reconciled us to you, and restored us to the glory you intend for us.
We thank you that on the night before he died for us Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, gave it to his friends and said: “Take, eat, this is my Body, broken for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
After supper Jesus took the cup of wine, said the blessing, gave it to his friends and said: “Drink this, all of you: this cup is the new Covenant in my Blood, poured out for you and for all for the forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
And so, remembering all that was done for us: the cross, the tomb, the resurrection and ascension, longing for Christ’s coming in glory, and presenting to you these gifts your earth has formed and human hands have made, we acclaim you, O Christ:
Dying, you destroyed our death.
Rising, you restored our life.
Christ Jesus, come in glory!
Send your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts of bread and wine that they may be to us the Body and Blood of your Christ. Grant that we, burning with your Spirit’s power, may be a people of hope, justice and love.
Giver of Life, draw us together in the Body of Christ, and in the fullness of time gather us with all your people into the joy of our true eternal home.
Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, we worship you our God and Creator in voices of unending praise.
Blessed are you now and for ever. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy 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.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Come down, O Love divine

Let us pray.
Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood. Send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Blessing
