Hymn of the Week
Veni sancte Spiritus – Sung by Kyle Briscoe, Kathleen Murphy, John Anderson, and Dan Rochegood
Congregation Refrain:
Veni sancte Spiritus (continue to repeat)
Solo verses:
Come Holy Spirit, from heaven shine forth with your glorious light.
Veni sancti Spiritus.
Come from the four winds, O Spirit, come, breath of God;
disperse the shadows over us, renew and strengthen your people.
Veni sancti Spiritus.
Guardian of the poor, come to our poverty. Shower upon us the seven gifts of your grace.
Be the light of our lives. O come!
Veni sancti Spiritus.
You are our only comforter, Peace of the soul. In the heat you shade us; in our labour you refresh us, and in trouble your are our strength,
Veni sancte Spiritus.

Psalm of the Week
Psalm 104:24-34, 35b
24 How many are your works, Lord!
In wisdom you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
25 There is the sea, vast and spacious,
teeming with creatures beyond number—
living things both large and small.
26 There the ships go to and fro,
and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.
27 All creatures look to you
to give them their food at the proper time.
28 When you give it to them,
they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied with good things.
29 When you hide your face,
they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.
30 When you send your Spirit,
they are created,
and you renew the face of the ground.
31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works—
32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,
who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
as I rejoice in the Lord.
35b Praise the Lord, my soul.
Praise the Lord.
Scripture
Acts 2:1-4
1 Corinthians 12:1-13
Prayer of the Week
Holy God, may Your Holy Spirit flow through us, gifting us each in our own way, that we might all be a reflection of You. Help us then to recognize Your reflection in others – even in ways that surprise us. Amen.
