The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Let us worship the Living God

Hymn Today: “Come Great God of All the Ages”

1 Come, great God of all the ages, Make Your earthly mission known;
Speak through every deed and person, Let Your way and will be shown.
Guide the church to true commitment, Give direction now, we ask;
Fit us for the work of building, Dedicate us to the task.

Dear Lord, on this day, we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit upon us.  May we be filled with its strength that we may look boldly into our lives and confess all that we have done to hurt You, our neighbors, ourselves, and our world.  May the Spirit fill us afresh with the wonder of Your forgiveness that we may celebrate Your name to a world that so needs Your hope and love.  Amen.

And let all God’s people say together,

Amen
