• 7:30 Opening Song:      (Pete Abresch)

· Opening Prayer: Yesterday we celebrated Pentecost, the birthday of the   Church!  The Holy Spirit came upon the apostles and disciples gathered in the upper room, with a strong driving wind and tongues of fire.  They were filled with the Spirit and began speaking all about Jesus, his death on the cross and his resurrection.  Their hearts were burning with love for the Lord and a desire to share his good news with everyone.  Many people took the words to heart and became filled with the Spirit.  The church was born!  “Lord, fill us all anew with your Holy Spirit.  Melt us with your fire, and refresh us with your wind.  May our lives be changed today and forever!”
