Adapted from Ezekiel 37:5, 6, 9

This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones:

I will make breath enter you and you will come to life.

I will attach tendons to you

And make flesh come upon you

And cover you with skin.

I will put breath in you,

And you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Come, breath from the four winds, and breathe.

Adapted from Multiple Scriptures

Leader:            In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth,

                         Darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

People:         Centuries before Jesus walked among us,

                       The Spirit of God was promised to him, so that he would bring justice to the nations.

Leader:           Jesus sent the Spirit of truth to teach us and give us peace.

People:         At Pentecost the Spirit came, as the rush of violent wind and tongues of fire. 

All:                 That same Spirit is among us now.  Let us worship God!

 Adapted from the Heidelberg Catechism Q & A 53

Leader:  What do you believe concerning “the Holy Spirit”?

People: First, that the Spirit, with the Father and the Son, is eternal God.

Leader: Second, that the Spirit is given also to me, so that, through true faith,
he makes me share in Christ and all his benefits, comforts me, and will remain with me forever.

People: Come let us worship the Lord.

Remember the promise of the Lord: 

God will pour out the Spirit on all flesh. 

The Spirit helps us in our weakness, 

Interceding with sighs to deep for words. 

The Spirit of God renews the earth. 

Bless the name of the Lord!
