Prelude:                     

ANNOUNCEMENTS
                                             
CALL TO WORSHIP:
Leader: To God be all glory, the One who visits us in three persons, the  
              Holy Trinity of hope and love.
People: For there is no place which is without you, O God, and no 
              time when you are not there.
Leader:  For you are the beginning and the end, the source of all that is 
              in the wonder of universal life.
People:  And yet, you take us by the hand and lead us, as the life of 
               Christ walks our human way and shows us that life is 
               stronger than death. As we honor our lost loved ones this 
               day, give us the courage to remember their sacrifice on
               our behalf. 
Leader: In the Holy Spirit, we are gifted, again and again, and are called 
             onward toward a future in which we are surrounded with love 
             and grace.
People: We praise and worship you, O God, for there is no other 
              God like you.

CALL TO CONFESSION:
Beloved, on the day we remember the gift of the Holy Spirit, let us confess our sins before our loving God.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION:                                                                            (Unison)
Holy Spirit, our lives would be lost without your precious voice whispering to our hearts and minds. Yet we so often dismiss those nudgings as our conscience or our own human thoughts. Forgive us for dismissing you, for not recognizing your presence. We often miss you altogether because we are so distracted by our own comings and goings. How little time we take to stop and listen for your voice. Spirit, we know that you are alive and working, and we don't want to miss the messages you have for us. Thank you for truly knowing our hearts. We love you, Holy Spirit. Amen. 
Time of Silent Prayer

ASSURANCE OF PARDON:
We know love by this, that Jesus laid down his life for us. Friends, hear the good news and believe: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven!
Passing the Peace
L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 
P: And also, with you. 
    
Response – Gloria Patri
