Hymn.      O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing #326

Prayer: O Holy Spirit of God, Spirit of truth, of light, of love, by whom Jesus is made known to us and through whom the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts: come upon us in the power of Pentecost, to renew in us such gifts and graces as will glorify God and equip us for ministry and witness in the Church and in the world; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

Scripture Lessons.        Psalm 104:24-34

                                      Acts 2:1-21

Meditation

Prayer:  Almighty God, you have taught us in your word that the fruit of the Spirit is love. 

Give us by your Spirit the realization of that love in our hearts: the love that is patient, kind, and envies no one; the love that is never boastful, conceited, or rude; the love that is never selfish, nor quick to take offence; the love that does not gloat over other’s sins but delights in the truth; the love that will never end. Above all else help us, O God our Father, to know that Christ is love in person, and love is Christ in our hearts. Amen ( both prayers by Llewelyn Cummings and published in Frank Colquhoun’s Contemporary Parish Prayers.)
