A liturgy for Pentecost  Sunday

Prelude

Call to worship:

Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.
He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent
and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.
He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants.
He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.
Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great;

*Hymns of Praise    "Great is thy Faithfulness"

* Invocation:
A God, the Holy Spirit,
come to us, and among us;
come as the wind, and cleanse us;
come as the fire, and burn;
come as the dew, and refresh;
convict, convert, and consecrate 
many hearts and lives
to our great good
and to thy greater glory;
and this we ask in Christ's name.  Amen.  (copied UMC hymnal p.335)
