a community creating for the relentless return of Sunday
Spirit…
Wind…
Breath…
fill our lungs and lives with your energizing presence;
refresh our stale minds;
and stir our slowly-beating hearts;
so that we may humbly and courageously
be your breathing, gusting, good presence in the world.
Amen

fire! fire!
Okay…and wind, and babble, and excitement!
What are you up to this Sunday? Dry Bones? Tongues of Fire? Birthday Cake?
Leave your thoughts, tidbits, sparks, or whatever you have–no matter how complete or unfinished–in the comments so we can light the creative fires together!
(And don’t miss the good conversation and ideas that developed on our Pentecost brainstorming post over the last several weeks!)
As a new light dawns…the sounds of sunrise stir us from our slumber!
As we gather together…songs of shared celebration ascend from our souls!
As we reside within our reality…God’s Spirit invites us to imagine…
dares us to dream…and compels us to create life as it is intended to be!
So let’s not simply sit and stand! Let’s not simply sing songs and say words!
Let’s imagine…let’s dream…let’s create…and let’s worship God!

One: Send us, Holy Spirit, to speak and to listen.
All: Send us, Holy Spirit, to hear your still speaking voice clearly above the babble of the world.
One: Send us, Holy Spirit, to find that we are never alone.
All: Send us, Holy Spirit, to be the assembled together even when we are apart.

One: Come Holy Spirit. Come.
All: Come Holy Spirit and move through the babble of our worship words.
One: Come Holy Spirit. Come.
All: Come Holy Spirit so that we might clearly hear your still speaking voice.
One: Come Holy Spirit. Come.
All: Come Holy Spirit and blow through our hearts today.
