CALL TO WORSHIP (Responsive)
The disciples were hiding in fear, and Jesus came and breathed on them saying, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
Lord Jesus, breathe on me; give me strength today. Holy Spirit, work in me. For this I pray.
We are Easter people! We follow the risen Christ and are filled with God’s Spirit.
Lord Jesus, breathe on me; give me strength today. Holy Spirit, work in me. For this I pray.
Throughout our lives, as we follow Jesus, our faith grows, and we are strengthened.
Lord Jesus, breathe on me; give me strength today. Holy Spirit, work in me. For this I pray.
All sing: This Is the Day VU# 175
A PRAYER FOR RENEWAL: Easter God, when we hide in fear come to us once again and remind us that we need not be afraid when we are in your presence. Strengthen us as Easter people to live our faith each day and show by example the new life you give. Amen.
THE PRAYER OF JESUS
WORDS OF ASSURANCE: Our Creator is a forgiving God, who seeks our good and wishes to journey with us. From the four directions the Creator fills us with the virtues of inner strength, generosity, respect, and wisdom. Thanks be to you, Source of Life. Amen.
