A Pentecost sermon by the Rev. Suzanne Hood.
I end today’s sermon with a poem by English poet, priest, and academic, Malcolm Guite. His words sum up this day for me and I hope you find inspiration in them as well.
Pentecost
Today we feel the wind
beneath our wings
Today the hidden fountain flows and plays
Today the church draws breath at last and sings
As every flame becomes a Tongue of praise.
This is the feast of fire, air, and water
Poured out and breathed and kindled into earth.
The earth herself awakens to her maker
And is translated out of death to birth.
The right words come today in their right order
And every word spells freedom and release
Today the gospel crosses every border
All tongues are loosened by the Prince of Peace
Today the lost are found in His translation.
Whose mother-tongue is Love, in every nation.
The space between...
A sermon by the Rev. Paul Canady on the Seventh Sunday of Easter.
Prayer by the Rev. Kristi Phillips
Ever-present God,
You call us on a journey to a place we do not know.
We are not where we started
We have not reached our destination.
We are not sure where we are or who we are.
This is not a comfortable place.
Be among us, we pray.
Calm our fears, save us from discouragement,
And help us stay on course.
Open our hearts to your guidance
So that our journey to this unknown place
Continues as a journey of trust.
Amen.
A God who calls us to care
