Celebrating Life through Divine Worship
Last Sunday of Easter Day of Pentecost
10:00 am June 12, 2011
The time of centering:
Welcome! May the joy of
new birth, the transformational power of new possibilities, and the burning
love of Christ make all of your days a Pentecost of hope. We are called to be
Spirited people, powerful as the wind in doing God’s will, energetic as fire in
extending the love of Christ. Let us be builders of understanding and makers
of peace, this day and every day. God’s Pentecost project is far from finishes:
you and I are in the thick of it …
PRELUDE Worship begins as the music is played
