PRELUDE O Spirit of Life Cherwein
Confession and Forgiveness
In the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.
Most merciful God,
we confess that we are captive to sin and cannot
free ourselves. We have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what
we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our
whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. For the sake of your
Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that
we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy
name.
Amen.
In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us, and for his sake God forgives us all our sins. As a called and ordained minister of the church of Christ, and by his authority, I therefore declare to you the entire forgiveness of all your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

HYMN OF PRAISE This Joyful Eastertide vs. 1
First Reading: Acts 2:1-21
1When
the day of Pentecost had come, [the apostles] were all together in
one place. 2And suddenly from
heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the
entire house where they were sitting. 3Divided
tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of
them. 4All of them were
filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the
Spirit gave them ability. 5Now
there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in
Jerusalem. 6And at this sound the
crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the
native language of each. 7Amazed
and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking
Galileans? 8And how is it that we
hear, each of us, in our own native language? 9Parthians,
Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and
Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia,
Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both
Jews and proselytes, 11Cretans and Arabs—in
our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” 12All
were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13But
others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.” 14But
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. 15Indeed, these are not
drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. 16No,
this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: 17‘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. 18Even
upon my slaves, both men and women,
in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. 19And
I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood,
and fire, and smoky mist. 20The sun shall be
turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great
and glorious day. 21Then everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ ”
WORD OF THE LORD Thanks be to God.
Psalm: Psalm 104:24-34, 35b
24How
manifold are your | works, O Lord! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full | of
your creatures.
25Yonder is the sea, great and wide, with its
swarms too man- | y
to number, living things both | small
and great.
26There go the ships | to
and fro, and Leviathan, which you made for the | sport
of it.
27All of them | look
to you to give them their food | in
due season.
28You give it to them; they | gather
it; you open your hand, and they are
filled | with good
things.
29When you hide your face, | they
are terrified; when you take away their
breath, they die and return | to
their dust.
30You send forth your Spirit, and they | are
created; and so you renew the
face | of the earth.
31May the glory of the Lord endure forever; O Lord, rejoice in | all
your works.
32You look at the earth | and
it trembles; you touch the mountains | and
they smoke.
33I will sing to the Lord as long | as
I live; I will praise my God while
I | have my
being.
34May these words of | mine
please God. I will rejoice | in
the Lord.
35bBless the Lord, | O
my soul. Hallelujah!
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:3b-13
3bNo
one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit.
4Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same
Spirit; 5and there are
varieties of services, but the same Lord; 6and
there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of
them in everyone. 7To each is given the
manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8To
one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the
utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9to
another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one
Spirit, 10to another the working
of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to
another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of
tongues. 11All these are
activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just
as the Spirit chooses. 12For just as the body
is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are
one body, so it is with Christ. 13For
in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or
free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
WORD OF THE LORD Thanks be to God.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
The Holy Gospel according to Saint John the 20th
chapter. Glory to you O Lord
19When
it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the
house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came
and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20After
he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples
rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21Jesus
said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send
you.” 22When he had said this,
he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If
you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of
any, they are retained.”
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O
Christ.

HYMN Holy Spirit, Truth Devine #398
APOSTLES CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of
heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, 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, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
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. Amen
