*CALL TO WORSHIP
First Reader (pouring water):
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
The earth was without form and void, and darkness was
upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving
over the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:1-2)
P: The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of
glory thunders, the Lord, upon many waters.  *Thanksgiving Praise: “Doxology” (UMH 95)
(Psalm 29: 3)
Second Reader (with wind chimes):
The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it,
but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.
So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. (John 3: 8)
P: The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl, and
strips the forest bare; and in God's temple all cry,
"Glory!"  (Psalm 29:9)
Third Reader (carrying/ pouring soil):
When You send forth Your Spirit all living things are created;
P: The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it, the world and
those who live in it.  (Psalm 24:1)
Fourth Reader (with candle):
I baptize with you water; but one more powerful than I is
coming who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with
fire. (from Luke 3:16)
P: The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire. The
voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the Lord shakes
the wilderness of Kadesh.  (Psalm 29: 7-8)
Leader: May the Lord give strength to the people!
P: May the Lord bless the people with peace!  (Psalm 29:11)
A: Holy Spirit, instill in us Christ's peace which passes all
understanding, God's love which encourages and equips
and joy in the Lord which knows no end. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING: Psalm 104:24-34, 35b
(UMH 827)
L: Oh Lord, how manifold are your works!
P: In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of
Your creatures.
L: Yonder is the sea, great and wide,
P: Creeping things innumerable are there, living things
both small and great.
L: There goes the ships, and Leviathan whom You formed to
play in it.
P: These all look to You, to give them their food in due
 season.
THE LIGHT GOES FORTH
L: When You give to them, they gather it;
P: When You open your hand, they are filled with good POSTLUDE
things.
L: When You hide Your face, they are dismayed;
P: When You take away their breath, they die and return
to their dust.
L: When You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
P: And You renew the face of the ground.
L: May the glory of the Lord endure forever, may the Lord
rejoice in His works,
P: Who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the
mountains and they smoke!
L: I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
P: I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
L: May my meditation be pleasing to the Lord in whom I
rejoice,
P: Let sinners be consumed from the earth, and let the
wicked be no more!
L: Bless the Lord, O my soul!
P: Praise the Lord!
