GREETING The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. And also with you.

PRAYER OF THE DAY Let us pray. O God, on this day you open the hearts of your faithful people by sending into us your Holy Spirit. Direct us by the light of that Spirit, that we may have a right judgment in all things and rejoice at all times in your peace, through Jesus Christ, your Son and our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

WORD God speaks to us in scripture reading, preaching,

and song.

FIRST READING: Acts 2:1-21A reading from Acts. 1When the day of Pentecost had come, [the apostles] were all together in one place. 2And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.  5Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. 6And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. 7Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? 9Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” 12All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.”  14But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. 15Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. 16No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: 17‘In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh,  and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions,  and your old men shall dream dreams.

3

 18Even upon my slaves, both men and women,  in those days I will pour out my Spirit;   and they shall prophesy. 19And I will show portents in the heaven above  and signs on the earth below,   blood, and fire, and smoky mist. 20The sun shall be turned to darkness  and the moon to blood,   before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day. 21Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ ”

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.Psalm 104:24-34, 35b24How manifold are your works, O LORD!In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.25Yonder is the sea, great and wide, with its swarms too many to number,living things both small and great.26There go the ships to and fro, and Leviathan, which you made for the sport of it.27All of them look to you to give them their food in due season. 28You give it to them; they gather it; you open your hand, and they are filled with good things.29When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.30You send forth your Spirit, and they are created;and so you renew the face of the earth.31May the glory of the LORD endure forever;O LORD, rejoice in all your works. 32You look at the earth and it trembles; you touch the mountains and they smoke.33I will sing to the LORD as long as I live;I will praise my God while I have my being.34May these words of mine please God. I will rejoice in the LORD.35bBless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah!

SECOND READING: 1 Corinthians 12:3b-13A reading from 1 Corinthians. 3bNo one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit. 4Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; 6and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. 7To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8To

4

one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses.  12For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

GOSPEL: John 20:19-23The holy gospel according to John.Glory to you, O Lord. 19When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” 22When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ.

HYMN OF THE DAY

ELW 396

NICENE CREED We believe in one God,

the Father, the Almighty,maker of heaven and earth,of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,the only Son of God,eternally begotten of the Father,God from God, Light from Light,true God from true God,begotten, not made,of one Being with the Father;through him all things were made.For us and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Maryand became truly human.For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;he suffered death and was buried.On the third day he rose againin accordance with the scriptures;he ascended into heavenand is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,who proceeds from the Father and the Son,*who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified,who has spoken through the prophets.We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

ANNOUNCEMENTSNew Worship Guidelines Moving forward, our services will be in person, on Facebook, and on KOJM Radio. If there is a spike in cases, we will move back to Radio and Facebook only. Worship will look a little different, too:

- Everyone will come in and go out through the front doors to reduce traffic in tight hallways. - Every other pew will be roped off and we ask that you sit 6 ft. away from anyone else in the pew who is

not part of your family. - Masks: Studies have shown that singing propels our germs up to 26 feet, so we ask that only folks with

masks participate in singing. However, everyone will be allowed into the service, whether or not you have a mask. We will have some clean homemade masks for people to take if you don't have your own.

- If you need to use the restroom, please use the stairway in the narthex by the front door, and sanitize your hands going down and going up the stairs. There will be sanitizer at the base of these stairs.

- There will be no coffee hour in the Fellowship Hall. Even with these changes, we are looking forward to worshiping together!Pentecost Geraniums: A heart-felt thank you to the great outpouring of geraniums and monetary donations for geraniums. All will be planted beneath our church sign both in honor and in memory of your loved ones!Reopening for Phase 2 Feel free to come when and if you feel comfortable.Social distancing will be enforced at all meetings.We will honor any requests asking that all present be masked.Please bring a mask or use one of ours to wear if necessary.We want all to feel safe and welcome.Starting this week
