READING FROM THE PSALMS Rev. Holly H. Adams
One: God sends forth the Spirit in the words we hear, All: And renews our lives with creative joy.
Psalm 104:24-31a
O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Yonder is the sea, great and wide, creeping things innumerable are there, living things both small and great. There go the ships, and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it. These all look to you to give them their food in due season; when you give to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things. When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground. May the glory of the Lord endure forever…
RESPONSE
One: In God’s wisdom all things are made. All: May the glory of God endure in our lives.
*HYMN OF DEVOTION “Spirit of the Living God” LIVING GOD
READING FROM THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES Rev. Elizabeth B. Johnson
Rev. David W. Johnson One: The Spirit of God rests upon God’s people. All: The Spirit comes as wind and fire and holy words.
Acts 2:1-21
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,
5
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.’
RESPONSE
One: The Spirit of God fills God’s people. All: Now we can do what we could not do alone.
SERMON “At the Edge” Rev. Dr. Anna V. Copeland
“In those days … I will pour out my Spirit...” Acts 14:17a

Fill-a my heart, you come and fill-a me up, come a Holy Spirit, Fill-a me up to the top-a my soul. Come-a Holy Spirit,
fill-a me up now and take control.
Come, O Spirit, come. Fill-a me up to the top-a my soul. Now come, Fill-a me up, Come-a Holy Spirit come.
Fill-a me up now and take control. Fill-a my heart, come, Spirit. Fill-a me up, fill-a me up!

Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
