Pentecost
Reading Acts 2:1-13
When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all
together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the
rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each
of them.
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and
began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there
were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem.
And at this sound the crowd gathered and was
bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of
each.
Amazed and astonished, they asked, ‘Are not all
these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in
our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of
Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia,
Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome.
Both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs – in
our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.’ All
were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, ‘What does this mean?’ But
others sneered and said, ‘They are filled with new wine.’
The Lord is here.
All His
Spirit is with us.
Prayer
for Personal Renewal
Be with us, Spirit of God;
All nothing
can separate us from your love.
Breathe on us, breath of God;
All fill
us with your saving power.
Speak in us, wisdom of God;
All bring
strength, healing, and peace.
The Gloria
Glory be to God in heaven,
songs of joy and peace we bring,
thankful hearts and voices raising,
to creation’s Lord we sing:
Lord, we thank you, Lord we bless you,
glory be to God our King
glory be to God our King
Lamb of God, who on your shoulders
bore the load of this world’s sin,
only Son of God the Father,
you have brought us peace within:
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy,
now your glorious reign begin,
now your glorious reign begin
You, O Son of God, are holy,
you we praise with one accord;
none in heaven or earth is like you,
only you are Christ the Lord
with the Father, and the Spirit,
ever worshipped and adored,
ever worshipped and adored.
The
Collect
Holy Spirit, sent by the Father,
ignite in us your holy fire;
strengthen your children with
the gift of faith,
revive your church with the breath of love,
and renew the face of the earth,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Saying
sorry to God
Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed
for us.
Let us therefore rejoice by putting
away all malice and evil
and confessing our sins
with a sincere and true heart.
Almighty God, our heavenly Father
we have sinned against you,
through our own fault,
in thought, and word and deed and in what we have left undone.
We are heartily sorry
and repent of our sins.
For your Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake,
forgive us all that is past;
and grant that we may serve you in newness of life
to the glory of your name.
Amen
May Almighty God
have mercy upon you,
forgive you your sins,
and bring you to everlasting life.
Amen
Gospel Reading:

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful people
and kindle in them the fire of your love.
All Alleluia.
Hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.
Glory to you O Lord
John
15:26-27; 16:4-15 read by Antoinette
The
Work of the Holy Spirit
26 “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the
Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify
about me. 27 And you also must testify, for
you have been with me from the beginning.
4 I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will
remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the
beginning because I was with you, 5 but now I am
going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you
going?’ 6 Rather, you are filled with
grief because I have said these things. 7 But
very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go
away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to
you.
8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and
righteousness and judgment: 9 about
sin, because people do not believe in me; 10 about
righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me
no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the
prince of this world now stands condemned.
12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But
when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the
truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and
he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will
glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known
to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That
is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
This is the Gospel of the Lord
Praise to you O Christ

A short reminder

What we believe
Let us declare our faith
in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Christ died for our sins
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he was buried;
he was raised to life on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures;
afterwards he appeared to his followers,
and to all the apostles:
this we have received,
and this we believe.
Amen.
The
Peace
God has made us one in Christ.
He has set his seal upon us and, as a pledge of
what is to come,
has given the Spirit to dwell in our hearts.
Alleluia.
The peace of the Lord be always with you
All and
also with you.

Holy
Communion
The Lord is here
His Spirit is with us.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give him thanks and praise.
Almighty God, good Father to us all,
your face is turned towards your world.
In love you gave us Jesus your Son
to rescue us from sin and death.
Your Word goes out to call us home
to the city where angels sing your praise.
Holy, holy, holy Lord,
God of power and God of might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest
Father of all, we give you thanks
for every gift that comes from heaven.
To the darkness Jesus came as your light.
With signs of faith and words of hope
he touched untouchables with love and washed the
guilty clean.
This is his story.
This is our song:
Hosanna in the highest.
The crowds came out to see your Son,
yet at the end they turned on him.
On the night he was betrayed
he came to table with his friends
to celebrate the freedom of your people.
This is his story.
This is our song:
Hosanna in the highest.
Jesus blessed you, Father, for the food;
he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and said:
This is my body, given for you all.
Jesus then gave thanks for the wine;
he took the cup, gave it and said:
This is my blood, shed for you all
for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this in remembrance of me.
This is our story.
This is our song:
Hosanna in the highest.
Therefore, Father, with this bread and this cup
we celebrate the cross
on which he died to set us free.
Defying death he rose again
and is alive with you to plead for us and all the
world.
This is our story.
This is our song:
Hosanna in the highest.
Send your Spirit on us now
that by these gifts we may feed on Christ
with opened eyes and hearts on fire.
May we and all who share this food
offer ourselves to live for you
and be welcomed at your feast in heaven
where all creation worships you,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit:
Blessing and honour and glory and
power
be yours for ever and ever. Amen.
We continue in the prayer that Jesus
taught us… the Lord’s Prayer
Our
Father in heaven,
hallowed
be your name,
your
kingdom come,
your
will be done,
on
earth as in heaven.
Give
us today our daily bread.
Forgive
us our sins
as
we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead
us not into temptation
but
deliver us from evil.
For
the kingdom, the power,
and
the glory are yours
now
and for ever.
Amen.
We break this bread to share in the body of
Christ.
Though we are many we are one body
because we all share in one bread.
Jesus, Lamb of God
have mercy on us.
Jesus bearer of our sins,
have mercy on us.
Jesus, redeemer of the world,
grant us peace.
Draw near with faith.
Receive the body of our Lord Jesus Christ
which he gave for you,
and his blood which he shed for you.
Eat and drink
in remembrance that he died for you,
and feed on him in your hearts
by faith with thanksgiving.

Prayer of
Spiritual Communion
Thanks be to you, Lord Jesus Christ,
for all the benefits you have given me,
for all the pains and insults you have borne for me.
Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
I ask you to come spiritually into my heart.
O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother,
may I know you more clearly,
love you more dearly,
and follow you more nearly, day by day. Amen
Commission
For fifty days we have celebrated the victory of
our Lord Jesus Christ over the powers of sin and death. We have proclaimed
God’s mighty acts and we have prayed that the power that was at work when God
raised Jesus from the dead might be at work in us.
As part of God’s Church here at St Catherine’s and
our friends at St Peter’s, I call upon you to live out what you proclaim.
Empowered by the Holy Spirit, will you dare to walk
into God’s future, trusting him to be your guide?
All By
the Spirit’s power, we will.
Will you dare to embrace each other and grow
together in love?
All We
will.
Will you dare to share your riches in common and
minister to each other in need?
All We
will.
Will you dare to pray for each other until your
hearts beat with the longings of God?
All We
will.
Will you dare to carry the light of Christ into the
world’s dark places?
All We
will.
The Blessing
May the Spirit,
who hovered over the waters when the world was
created,
breathe into you the life he gives.
All Amen.
May the Spirit,
who overshadowed the Virgin when the eternal Son
came among us,
make you joyful in the service of the Lord.
All Amen.
May the Spirit,
who set the Church on fire upon the Day of
Pentecost,
bring the world alive with the love of the risen
Christ.
All Amen.
And the blessing of God almighty,
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
be among you and remain with you always.
All Amen.
