Prayer of Invocation/Confession

Gracious God, we have gathered in this

holy place to give thanks and to praise

You for Your mighty works. Thank

You for working in each of us to

transform us from people held captive

to sin, into people filled with the Holy

Spirit. The Spirit dwells within us. The

Spirit burns within us. We have the

blessed assurance that the Holy Spirit

is guarding our minds and our hearts.

We live in a world of distractions but,

You, O God, You hear our prayers. We

can live and rejoice and give thanks

because You are near. We can lay down

our wants and fears because we are not

alone. Thank You, O God, for loving us

through the sacrifice and resurrection

of Jesus. You love and You reign over

all things. Amen!

We are called to this place to worship

God. We lift our voices to God. We are

called to this place to be changed by

God. We offer our lives to God.

OFFERTORY PRAYER

Holy Father, thank You for Your

bountiful provision. Thank You for

Jesus who is the Bread of Life and is

food enough for our spiritual hungers.

We bring our tithes, mission offerings

and sacrificial gifts for Your use and

Your work. We give in response to

You having already given to us. You

first sought us and gave to us; You

loved us before we could love You.

Thank You! Accept our praise and our

gifts. In love we bring both. Amen.

“Let your light so shine...that the

world may see your good works, and

glorify your Father which is in

heaven.” Matthew 5:16

Some people think of the Holy Spirit in terms of ancient history. They think

that the Holy Spirit was only active on the Day of Pentecost. Aren't you

glad that you know different? God has given us the precious gift called the

Holy Spirit. Aren't you glad? Yes the Holy Spirit worked in the past. Yes

the Holy Spirit will work in the future. But I'm so glad, that I know that

the Holy Spirit is God's present gift to us. The Holy Spirit is God's personal

gift to us. The Holy Spirit is God's precious gift to us. And the Holy Spirit

is God's powerful gift to us. Aren't you glad?
