*Call to Worship Jonathan McNairLeader: Sacred breath, move through this room.People: Come, Holy Spirit, come!

Leader: Unlock a song within your people.People: Come, Holy Spirit, come!

Leader: Breathe into us your hopes and dreams for a world fi lled with justice, love and peace.

People: Come, Holy Spirit, come! Leader: Revive us, move in us, and encourage us on the journey of faith. People: Come, Holy Spirit, come! Amen!

*Hymn 539 O Spirit of the Living God

Centering Prayer Leader: The Apostle Paul tells us that the Spirit of God prays for us “with sighs too deep for words.” Through the Life-Giving Breath of God, we are given all that we need. Let us breathe deeply— inhaling the good gifts that God provides, and exhaling all of the things that we need to release.

Let us breathe in strength. (Pause for breath…)And, let us exhale our exhaustion. (Pause for breath…)

Let us breathe in freedom. (Pause for breath…)And, let us exhale all that holds us back. (Pause for breath…)

Let us breathe in hope. (Pause for breath…)And, let us exhale self-doubt. (Pause for breath…)

Let us breathe in unconditional love. (Pause for breath…)And, let us exhale distrust, prejudice, and arrogance. (Pause for breath…)

Let us breathe in a new sense of direction. (Pause for breath…)And, let us exhale the paths we no longer want to use.

(Pause for breath…)

ALL: Holy Spirit, let us feel the mighty rush of your presence in this place. Blow away our fears and worries, and help us to breathe in your gifts of new life. Fill us anew with your presence, that we might be strengthened for the work of ministry to which you have called us both individually and collectively. In the name of Jesus we ask it all. Amen.

I’m gonna pray ‘til the spirit moves in my heart. I’m gonna pray ‘til Jesus comes. Can’t you feel the spirit movin’?

I’m gonna shout ‘til the spirit moves in my heart. I’m gonna shout ‘til Jesus comes. I’m gonna sing ‘til my Jesus comes.

Plus, kids will learn to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings. Each day concludes with the Safari Celebration that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned.
